There are two competing Little-trains-of-Montmartre to climb the Butte Montmartre: The "Petit train Montmartrain" and "Le Petit train de Montmartre". Hard to tell the difference in name. Both make a detour through "lower Montmartre", stopping at Pigalle, the Moulin Rouge and Place Blanche. However, there's a small difference to be grasped between the two options.

Tip: do the tour in 2 parts, with unlimited stopping time (in the same day) at the intermediate stop to visit Montmartre. You can start the tour at the starting point of your choice (e.g. Place Blanche), stay as long as you like on the top of the Butte (leaving the train at Place du Tertre) and take the little Montmartre train in the other direction from Place du Tertre (2nd starting point), returning later in the day to Place Blanche.
