Frequently asked questions
Is the Moulin Rouge on this route?
Yes. The Moulin Rouge is the first stop after the start at Place des Abbesses in Montmartre. The app leads you there and tells its Belle Epoque story, including La Goulue, the dancing queen of the French cancan.
What will I see of Belle Epoque Montmartre?
The route takes in the Moulin Rouge, Montmartre Cemetery, Rue Tourlaque, the Van Gogh brothers' apartment, Le Moulin de la Galette, the Lapin Agile, the Musée de Montmartre, Sacré-Cœur and the Bateau-Lavoir, with stories of the houses, bars and music halls where artists, thrill-seeking bourgeois and gangsters spent their nights.
Where does the tour start and how long does it take?
It starts and finishes at Place des Abbesses, so you end up back where you began. The walk covers 3.6 km and takes about an hour, though stopping to look around or solve the puzzles can stretch it. You can pause and continue later.
Is this played on an app, and do we need to book a time?
Yes, it is played on your phone: the app guides you from place to place, tells the story of each stop and sets a puzzle in what is in front of you. There is no guide and no fixed time, so you start whenever you like, and one ticket covers your whole group.
Is the route suitable for people with limited mobility?
Montmartre is a hill, and the route has varied terrain and changes in elevation, so it may not suit people with limited mobility. The whole walk is outdoors, so dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes for the climbs toward Sacré-Cœur.
What era does the Paris Belle Époque quest explore?
It is set around the artistic and nightlife world of Belle Époque Montmartre. The clue trail uses artists, music halls and the era’s atmosphere as the route’s cultural starting point.
Is this experience self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you from clue to clue, with no guide or fixed start time. You can begin when it suits you and pause along the way.
How many accesses does our group need?
Classic quests sell access per device and player. Each person who wants to solve clues on their own phone needs their own access.
