The Little Train of Montmartre (Le Petit Train de Montmartre)
About
Take a charming 35‑minute ride on the Little Train of Montmartre, a nostalgic steam‑powered tour that winds through the historic hilltop quarter of Paris. Whether you prefer a leisurely trip in French or English, each seat comes with a live commentary that narrates the history, culture, and hidden stories of places like the Moulin Rouge, Place du Tertre, and the Basilique du Sacré‑Cœur. After the train, you can choose one of three guided walking tours—each delivered via a smartphone audio guide—including the Mount of Montmartre, the cemetery of Montmartre, and an unplanned wandering tour along Montmartre’s narrow lanes. The tours run every day from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with departures every 30 minutes during winter and summer, and every hour on weekdays. Tickets cannot be purchased on the same day—book in advance or buy from the driver at the departure station. Prices start at €5 for children and €12 for adults, offering an affordable way to explore one of Paris’s most romantic districts. Whether you’re traveling solo, in a couple, or with family, the Little Train is a relaxed and scenic adventure that captures the spirit of Montmartre.
