Paris with Montmartre, Marais, Saint Germain des Pres and Dinner Cruise
A full-day private journey through Paris's most storied neighborhoods, ending with an evening on the Seine.
This private Paris day tour brings together four of the city's most distinct and historically rich areas into a single, seamlessly guided experience. You will walk through Montmartre's cobblestone lanes, explore the cultural depth of Saint Germain des Pres, discover the unique character of Le Marais, and finish the day with a 2.5-hour dinner cruise along the Seine River.
Paris rewards those who venture beyond the obvious landmarks. Montmartre offers far more than its famous basilica. The walk winds past Moulin Rouge, through a lively market, along streets lined with bakeries, and past the Wall of Love before reaching the vineyard and the historic Lapin Agile cabaret. Place du Tertre, where artists have gathered for generations, sits just below the sweeping viewpoint at Sacre Coeur.
Saint Germain des Pres carries a literary and philosophical legacy unlike any other district in the city. The cafes Les Deux Magots and Cafe de Flore were gathering places for writers including Hemingway, Albert Camus, James Joyce, and Pablo Picasso. The neighborhood retains a village quality that makes it easy to understand why so many creative minds chose it as their base.
Le Marais, built on former marshland and stretching across the Paris Centre arrondissement, blends medieval architecture with contemporary boutiques and a vibrant local atmosphere. Your private chauffeur-driven vehicle connects each neighborhood, keeping transitions smooth so that more of your time is spent discovering rather than navigating. E-tickets for the Seine dinner cruise are provided before the tour begins.

Itinerary
The tour begins at Metro Station Blanche, passing Moulin Rouge and ascending through a market street filled with cafes, bakeries, and local shops. You will reach the Wall of Love, the Dalida house and statue, La Maison Rose, and the vine-covered lane leading to Lapin Agile, the oldest cabaret in Paris.
The walk continues to Place du Tertre, a square known for its resident artists and painters, before arriving at Sacre Coeur Basilica. From the steps of the basilica, you have a sweeping bird's-eye view across central Paris. You may return to street level on foot or by funicular, which accepts a standard metro ticket.
Your private vehicle transfers you to Saint Germain des Pres for a walking tour of the district. You will see the Church of Saint Germain des Pres and pass by Les Deux Magots and Cafe de Flore, two cafes with deep connections to writers and philosophers of the twentieth century, including Hemingway, Camus, and Joyce.
The tour moves on to Le Marais, a district shaped by centuries of history and now home to a mix of heritage buildings, independent shops, and a lively local community. The cobblestone streets and compact layout make it well suited to exploration on foot.
Your driver drops you at Port de Bourdonnais near the Eiffel Tower, where you board the Seine dinner cruise. Over 2.5 hours, the boat passes landmarks including Assemblee Nationale, Invalides, Musee d'Orsay, Institut de France, and Notre Dame de Paris. Onboard commentary is available in 14 languages. Please carry your e-tickets and arrive on time.
