Montmartre Walking Tour with Saints, Scandals and Revolution

Overview

Go beyond the crowded tourist routes and discover the hidden Montmartre that most visitors never see. We'll explore secret viewpoints, quiet squares, artists' haunts, and some of the most beautiful streets in Paris while uncovering the stories behind iconic landmarks like the Moulin Rouge, Sacré-Cœur, and Picasso's Bateau-Lavoir. Along the way you'll meet cancan dancers, revolutionaries, struggling artists, a saint who carried his own head, a donkey hailed as a modern painter, and a performer famous for blowing out candles with his farts. Blending history, art, humor, and unforgettable characters, this tour reveals how Montmartre transformed itself from a rural village into the world's most legendary neighborhood. This is Montmartre off the map and beyond the postcards: stranger, funnier, and far more interesting than most people imagine.
