Explore the museum’s scandalous collection of art that broke from tradition, featuring masterpieces by artists who anticipated Modern Art, including Monet, Degas, Renoir, Manet, Morisot, Van Gogh, and Gauguin. Highlights include the iconic Bal du Moulin de la Galette by Renoir, Van Gogh’s Self-Portrait, Monet’s Water Lilies, and many more.

Next, immerse yourself in the bohemian spirit of Montmartre, where artists like Picasso, Renoir, Van Gogh, and Toulouse-Lautrec once lived, worked, and shaped the world of Modern Art. Wander through charming cobblestone streets filled with art, amazing food, and souvenir shops, before taking in breathtaking views of Paris from the top of the hill, where the majestic Sacré-Cœur stands.
