The Montmartre scavenger hunt starts at the Wall of Love, where “I love you” is written in many languages. It climbs to the Bateau-Lavoir and Place du Tertre, then passes the Passe-Muraille sculpture, the bust of Dalida, La Maison Rose, the Clos Montmartre vineyard and the Musée de Montmartre, reaching the Sacré-Cœur and finishing in Square Louise Michel below it.
The 10 stops add up to only 1.6 km, about 22 minutes of walking, though some streets are steep. You can start anywhere or change the order in the app. No entry tickets are needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.
Montmartre still feels like a village on a hill. Picasso worked at the Bateau-Lavoir, painters still set up their easels on Place du Tertre, one of the last vineyards in Paris grows on its slopes, and the white Sacré-Cœur, completed in the early 20th century, looks out over the whole city.
A game makes the climb worthwhile: each riddle sends you looking for details like the man stepping out of a wall, and the stories that follow explain the legends behind them. Everyone plays on their own phone, and you can stop for a crêpe whenever you like.
The Montmartre scavenger hunt takes about 2 hours. It has 10 stops and only about 22 minutes (1.6 km) of actual walking, though some streets are steep; the rest is solving riddles and listening to stories. You can pause at any time and continue later.
