★★★★★a month agoVery nice tranquil museum and cafe you can access the cafe alone for 6 euros too if you wish. The exhibitions a were very interesting too about the art and history of Montmartre and the old cabaret shows. Definately worth the visit.

★★★★★a month agoAs a Renoir admirer, visiting the Musée de Montmartre was a truly special experience. Knowing that Renoir had his studio here and painted some of his most celebrated works in these surroundings brought the history to life. The gardens, courtyard, and peaceful atmosphere make it easy to imagine the Montmartre that inspired so many artists. I left feeling inspired, grateful, and more connected to the artistic spirit of Paris. A beautiful and memorable visit. 🎨🇫🇷
