Love the Little Train of Montmartre

Published over a year ago

This was our second time taking the Little Train, it's a lovely way to see Montmartre. It stops at Place du Tertre, the square at the top of the hill. You can wander the square, people have their sketches drawn by local artists and there are great cafés to relax for un café. Visit Sacré Coeur and enjoy an amazing view of Paris. Highly recommend.

Could not hear the tour guide speaking

June 30th 2024

We drove to the top and then walked back down before deciding to board the train. It was a fun way to see the town. Our only complaint was that we speak English and the announcer was barely audible and only spoke French. We thought it was going to tell us about the historical sites we passed, which is the main reason we road the train.

Beautiful Montmartre

Published over a year ago

Very comfortable and pleasant ride for the round trip especially on a rainy day. My family and I love the beautiful view of Montmartre on a Cobblestone street. The recorded commentary was useful and it gave the French bite with the music played in the background. The redemption of train voucher was easy and good to go. Highly recommended.

Trains were running every hour and the train before the last one was taken up by a tour group so we had to wait an hour before boarding. There was commentary but we couldn't hear it because the train is loud. That being said, it is an entirely delightful way to get around.

We are 5 people and enjoyed this Ride. It's close to take this ride from Metro and Montmartre from drop off location. Also easy to return to Metro using this Ride.

Make sure you pay attention to when the last train is. It doesn't run very late so doesn't work if you plan to have dinner near Sacre Coeur.
