Day 3 - Paris

Discover the highest point in the city, La Butte Montmartre, forever associated with the Bohemian lifestyles of the late 19th-century. Your guide leads you along the winding back streets leading to the 'Place du Tertre', where you witness artists painting quick-fire portraits. Walk up to the Sacré-Coeur Basilica for spectacular views over the city, before continuing to the intimate Moulin Rouge cabaret theatre, immortalised by the painter Toulouse-Lautrec, and the small 12th-century St Pierre church.

Next, head to the Montmartre Museum, where Renoir painted the Bal du Moulin de la Galette, hailed as one of his most important works. Finally, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of this exciting era as you enter the studio of the painter Suzanne Valadon, who lived and worked here with her son, Maurice Utrillo.

For a true insight into the heart of Amsterdam, a visit to the Red Light District is a must.
