    Itinerary

    This is a typical itinerary for this product

    Stop atMontmartre

    Every year many visitors flock to Montmartre, but most miss out on the authentic hidden side of this special place. Away from the crowds, you can still find the Montmartre of Picasso, Toulouse Lautrec and Van Gogh, where artists lived, drank and painted, exchanging their paintings for food and art supplies. Hear their fascinating stories and those of the raucous cabarets and music halls where the French Cancan was invented. Today Montmartre remains a delightful and typical quarter of Paris, proud of its history and inhabited by Monmartrois who remain passionate about their unique neighborhood. Explore tiny alleyways, evocative cobbled streets and quiet squares, discover a beautiful working vineyard and lively café terraces. See the artist's square, where modern day artists still gather each day to paint and sell their works, and admire the spectacular views over the city from the foot of the Sacré Coeur. Discover the real Montmartre, one of the best-kept secrets in the city.

    Stop atLe Marais

    Not only do the Parisians adore the Marais, most visitors also fall in love with this very special part of the city. Combining centuries of history, splendid architecture, high fashion, world-class museums and art galleries, and an amazing restaurant scene, the Marais is not to be missed! Spared the massive renovations of 19th century Paris, the Marais retains the old-world charm of narrow streets, quiet courtyards and splendid medieval and Renaissance mansions. Discover cutting edge boutiques and hip cafés. Visit the traditional Jewish quarter, where you can taste the best falafel in the city, and don’t forget to check out some of the newest and best pastry shops in the city! Hear stories of jousts, love affairs, treason and revolution, as you stroll through some of the most delightful streets in the city. Dynamic and modern, yet steeped in history and overflowing with charm, the Marais is the perfect place to soak up the atmosphere of contemporary and historical Paris.

Today you’ll discover cobbled streets, quirky bookshops and lively cafés. We’ll take you to the very heart of this delightful neighborhood, past glorious outdoor food markets, tree-lined streets and pretty squares roamed by cats and stylish students.

Casual and informative!

Margaret_C, Dec 2024

Hexcel was a wonderful tour guide! Very friendly and informative. The tour was a small group. We saw many parts of Montmartre with history

Well adapted tour through latin quarter

Sarah_M, Dec 2024

Our tour was exceptionally great: our guide Arthur was adapting the tour to the number of participants and our fields of interest. He shared the right amount of information ( not too much and neither too little), was kind, detail oriented as well as funny and social. I had a wonderful time and enjoyed the tour, the guide as well as Paris and learned a lot. Thank you!

Short but insightful

Daniel_M, Dec 2024

I found the tour agreeable as a first contact with Montmartre, but I wished it would have been longer and deeper

Great walk

qona_r, Dec 2024

Arthur was a fantastic guide so knowledgable and interesting. I really liked the way he got us thinking about particular details by asking us questions. Both my daughter and I felt we had learnt a lot. The trip was exclude the right length of time and really good value.
