The Secret Face of Montmartre Walking Tour

Join us as we venture off the beaten track and explore the real Montmartre. We’ll wind down cobbled streets, discover secret vineyards and hear tales of local artists and gangsters. We’ll unravel the origins of Montmartre and explain how it evolved from a place of worship to a mecca of modern art and culture. We'll not only visit Montmartre's most iconic spots, but we'll also discover spots the tourists (and the locals) often overlook! From Picasso to Dali, the Sacré Coeur to Paris’ oldest church, this tour really has everything.

Explore the lives of the artisans, the anarchists and the architecture that makes Bastille one of Paris’ most vibrant neighbourhoods. We’ll learn about the tumultuous history of the Bastille, the creativity born from this melting pot and the architectural gems that are scattered throughout the neighbourhood. You’ll join renowned architect and photographer, Juan Jerez and our resident historian, Ed as you wander through the 12th arrondissement’s alleys, courtyards and parks. You'll be able to stand in the very spots that saw the beginning of the historic revolution in France and explore the artisanal roots of Faubourg St Antoine. And throughout the tour, Juan will point out his favourite photo spots and local recommendations for food and drink.

Were cemeteries built for the living, or for the dead? This is what we’ll explore during this fascinating tour of Père Lachaise cemetery, which mixes music, stories and poetry. Come along and enjoy a peaceful walk through the world's most famous cemetery! Founded by Emperor Napoleon, this cemetery resembles a miniature Paris and is now home to over 1 million “residents”. We’ll discover the graves and stories of famous people such as Edith Piaf and her tale of love and loss, the tragic fable of Oscar Wilde, the bittersweet love story of Heloise and Abelard and we’ll see how the rock n roll poet Jim Morrison remains as unconventional in death as he did in life!
