Overview

Far from the crowded boulevards of the centre of Paris, the Montmartre neighbourhood is nicknamed "the village" by Parisians. With its exquisite squares, pretty churches and idyllic, winding streets, it’s easy to see why artists fell in love with this neighbourhood and made it their favourite hangout since the late 1800s. Your guide will take you to the Parisian abodes of Van Gogh and Picasso, tell you stories about Toulouse Lautrec’s favourite cabaret dancer and the sad love-life of a very famous French singer. Get away from the selfie-sticks into secret passages and stunning gardens.

• Discover the cobbled streets of this mythical 2,000-year-old district once home of the world’s leading artists
• Taste one of the best croissants in Paris
• Discover the Sacré-Cœur Basilica from an angle that few people know of
• Stumble upon the last remaining vineyard in Paris
• Take a look at the oldest cabaret in the city, Picasso’s favourite hangout when nobody appreciated his art
