Paris - Montmartre & Northern Paris
One of the wellsprings of Parisian myth, Montmartre has always stood apart. Bohemians, revolutionaries, artists, cancan girls and headless martyrs have all played a role in its story, and vestiges of the original village – ivy-clad buildings, steep narrow streets – remain.
- hike up the steps of Basilique du Sacré-Cœur for panoramic city views and some of the city’s finest street entertainers outside, and a glittering mosaic within
- treat the kids to a day in the capital’s world-class Parc de la Villette science museum and enjoy a performance or exhibit at the city’s largest cultural playground
- step into opulent surrounds at the elegant Musée Jacquemart-André art museum, a rare snapshot of 19th-century Parisian high society, climax with afternoon tea in the lavish tearoom
