Why join this private walking tour of montmartre
Now do not go to Montmartre on your own, or with just a printable map. In Montmartre, join a tour guide on a walking tour instead.
That is because Montmartre is more secret than it is open. Of course you want the church and Moulin Rouge, but you also want the context for it. And you want the back streets, what Montmartre locals call their village.
We also offer more of these short, 90 minute private walking tours besides Montmartre. Feel free to contact us.
Who loves montmartre
Every French kid knows songs by Edith Piaf and Yves Montand and Charles Aznavour that are about Montmartre.
Every art lover knows masterpieces painted in Montmartre by Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh or Picasso.
Frank Sinatra, can-can dancers, Elton John and so many others all performed at Montmartre’s Moulin Rouge.
For some 200 years, Montmartre has attracted the attention of many, many artists and lovers of beauty.
Now interestingly, the icons that attract tourists to Montmartre today did not exist back then.
So what attracted all these artists to Montmartre? A unique atmosphere. A mix of picturesque old stones, a village lifestyle, splendid views, and the resident crowd. The great thing is, you can still find this atmosphere today.
Surprising fact about montmartre
To many locals, Montmartre stands not for art and lifestyle, but for revolution and social change. That is because in 1871, Montmartre led the “Commune of 鶹APP”, an attempt by local revolutionaries to bring to power an ultra-progressive government.
This revolutionary past of 150 years ago continues to have strange repercussions on the Montmartre of today. Our private tour will also give you that context.
