Visiting Place du Tertre, a public square within Paris, is free. It is accessible to visitors 24 hours a day, year-round. However, for a guided tour, you might pay anywhere from €60 for a walking tour to twice that per person for a food-focused tour with wine.

Located in the heart of Paris’s hilly, bohemian Montmartre district, Place du Tertre has been a place for the neighborhood’s artists to congregate for centuries. Today, it’s still a lively public square, filled with restaurants and dozens of artists working at their easels or selling drawn caricatures to visitors.

Place du Tertre is best on sunny days in spring and fall. In winter, you’ll find fewer artists at work, but many people enjoy the quieter atmosphere. Avoid planning a trip to Paris in August, when most Parisians take their vacations and many businesses and restaurants shut for several weeks.

Artists typically start drawing or painting mid-morning, around 10am. Come then to observe them quietly without the bustle of tour groups that arrive closer to midday. If it’s a buzzier vibe you’re after, come on a Friday or Saturday evening when the surrounding restaurants and bars are filled.

That depends. The cobblestoned streets, including on Place du Tertre, can present challenges for people with limited mobility or in wheelchairs. Remember that getting to many locations in Montmartre involves steep uphill climbs. However, certain routes are more accessible than others, so consider booking a wheelchair-friendly tour.
