Montmartre. In the footsteps of painters.
Romantic walking tour in the bohemian neighbourhood of artists.
Tour available from March 2021.
You will enjoy a semiprivate tour in the company of a fully licensed tour guide. I will meet you outside Metro Blanche, Line 2, at street level, where the walking tour starts.
You will experience an Impressionist journey outdoors, outside a museum, discovering where the artists lived, learning about their incredible lives, passions, art and struggles.
You will stroll through the bohemian streets made of cobblestones, which still retains a rural atmosphere, cute squares with cafés and picturesque shops. You will be delighted by the view of timeless local bookstores, art galleries, hidden gems along the way. Each corner of the street in Montmartre tells a story.
I invite you to discovery it with me!
