| Choose your programme | Choose your starting point for the slope you can manage. The walk need not include every staircase on the hill. | Decide where to start and leave the route. A one-way walk can avoid automatically retracing your steps. | Plan a short loop with somewhere to pause rather than insisting on a full circuit. |
| Constraint to anticipate | Compare pedestrian routes and transport before visiting with a pushchair or a particular mobility need. | Check crossings and paths along the canal for a pushchair or wheelchair route. | Check works and open paths on the official page. Routes drawn on a map may be unavailable. |
| Continue the day | Musée de Montmartre is an independent indoor visit alongside the walk. | The Bassin de la Villette extends the water theme, with the connecting journey to plan. | Canal Saint-Martin offers a different walking landscape after a journey. |

Start with the area: two attractions in different districts require a journey beyond the visit times shown here. Choose the content that interests you, then check opening hours, tickets and the entrance. A low budget category does not establish free admission to every exhibition or activity.
This table does not rank quality, popularity or accessibility. For specific access needs, confirm the full route from transport and the attraction’s entrance. Open each English attraction page for preparation notes and links to related walks.
