What you'll do

You'll discover Montmartre, perhaps the city's most quintessentially Parisian district. As the city's artistic neighborhood for centuries, perhaps you'll find the square where Picasso once painted, or visit Espace Dali, an eclectic collection of the artist's quirky sculptures.

Your host wouldn't let you miss visiting the Sacré-Coeur, the stunning basilica which watches over the neighborhood. Still, they'll also take you further north into Clignancourt, an overlooked area home to delicious street eats, and the Marché aux puces, where you could spend hours browsing antique treasures. Take in the sweeping views of the whole city or sink into a chair in a classic Parisian cafe and indulge in the art of the flâneur - people-watching.

Where you’ll go

Perched atop the hill in Paris's 18th arrondissement in the northern reaches of the city is Montmartre -  the Parisian fairytale of your dreams. With its centuries-old mansions dripping in ivy, cobbled streets, and artists at their easels painting the scene, it's no surprise that Paris's famous art district has become a must-see neighborhood.

From the picture-postcard scene of Place du Tertre to Le Mur des Je t'aime - the heart-warming 'I love you wall' - your host will show you the best of the area. But venture just a little further north, and you'll also discover Clignancourt, an unassuming corner of the district that most visitors miss. It's one of Paris's most diverse neighborhoods and a welcome break from the crowds of Montmartre.

    Clovis was an awesome guide and made our experience in Montmartre one of the highlights of our trip to Paris. He was on time, spoke great English and showed us places we would not have been able to find on our own. His knowledge of the area exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend both City Unscripted and Clovis!

    It was a great easy, long walk. Our tour guide was very informative and nice. We had three kids with use so he was very accommodating. Would recommend for a nice sunny afternoon.
