Away from the bustling main streets of central Paris, the locals fondly refer to the Montmartre neighbourhood as ‘the village’. With its charming plazas, attractive churches, and picturesque, maze-like lanes, it’s no surprise this area became an artists’ haven since the end of the 19th century. Your guide will lead you to the former residences of brilliant minds such as Van Gogh and Picasso, share tales about the beloved cabaret dancer of Toulouse Lautrec, and the melancholic love affairs of a renowned French crooner. Escape the throng of selfie-takers and explore hidden corridors and beautiful gardens.
