About this experience

SEMI-PRIVATE, SMALL-GROUP walk, discover why we have over 6,000 5-star reviews!

Have you heard of the legendary, extravagant, Montmartre neighborhood ? Well, don’t eat before because we are about to enjoy Paris’ dreamiest little village, by mouth…

We love the madcap stories behind picturesque Montmartre — the artists and poets, the singers and the tragedies, so join us as we follow in the footsteps of Edith Piaf, Renoir, Picasso, Charlie Chaplin, Monet, Cezanne, Degas, Van Gogh, other notables as we check out their old haunts, see where they found inspiration (or just a glass of wine!) …find scenes from famous paintings.

We revel in the bohemian atmosphere, taste the our way through legendary French tastes and learn about memorable stories like the birth of the ‘Can-Can’ dance…see one of the few, hidden, working vineyards in Paris.

From the Belle Epoque to today explore one of Paris’ most fascinating, if at times scandalous, little neighborhoods and all the treasures it holds.
