What you'll do

Discover Montmartre, perhaps the city’s most quintessentially Parisian district. As the city’s artistic neighborhood for centuries, perhaps you’ll discover 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, but they’ll also take you further north into Clignancourt, an overlooked area that’s home to delicious street eats and the Marché aux puces where you could while away 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 arts 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 which most visitors miss. It’s one of Paris’s most diverse neighborhoods and a welcome break from the crowds of Montmartre.

Reviews

    We had a wonderful tour of Montmartre in Paris France. Our guide was Clovis and he went out of his way to make this a memorable experience. We wanted to indulge in some of the wonderful chocolates that Paris has to offer and he took us to a fabulous chocolate shop that did not disappoint. Then we stroll down the streets with Clovis pointing out important parts of the area and giving us a great history lesson. We took the tram, very tiny, to the top of the hill and visited the artist area. Then we strolled down some of the smaller streets and ended up at the studio of Picasso. Then we had lunch at the little café across from the studio where Picasso visited regularly. I cannot tell you what a wonderful guide we had. Clovis, being an art major, was very knowledgeable and lots of fun to be with. Two old ladies had a great time.

    We had been doing all the touristy things and Montmartre was definitely the cherry on top. It was very charming all the way up and the basilica was spectacular! Our guide, Clovis was very knowledgeable and friendly. If you are planning a vivir to Montmartre (and you should) ask for him to be your guide!

    Clovis was an absolute gem. His knowledge of the area was really extensive, having grown up there and also having done a Fine Arts Degree. He brought so much extra to the tour with his insights.
