Short Description: Your journey will begin at Place Bellecour, where André-Marie Ampère will inform you of the terrible sentence decreed by the National Convention of Paris: "Lyon made war on liberty, Lyon exists no more. The name of Lyon will be erased from the list of cities of the Republic." And this destruction will commence at Place Bellecour, renamed "Place de la Fédération."

How did we arrive at such a situation? By stopping in front of the Saint-Nizier church, Ampère will explain to you the complex situation of Lyon during the French Revolution. With clarity and vehemence, he will share his perspective on the fierce struggle between the Montagnards and the Girondins, on their fatal division, and on the consequences of this division, which led the National Convention of Paris to consider Lyon as a counter-revolutionary city. You will discover how Paris sent terrible emissaries against Lyon, Couthon and then Fouché, who repressed and massacred its population.

Imagine the sound of the guillotine tirelessly operated at Place des Terreaux, where many innocents, including Judge Ampère himself, will fall victim to the excesses of the revolutionary repression. On this square, you will retry the trial of the National Convention of Paris, where you will be led to distinguish on one side the historical truth and on the other, the passions that still surround this tragic episode in the history of the city of Lyon.

Finally, you will discover a gallery of colorful historical figures, starting with Marie-Joseph Chalier, Lyon's "exaggerated" revolutionary, who aspired to be "the Christ of the Revolution." His execution sparked the siege of Lyon by the troops of the National Convention. Ampère will thus lead you to discover the house of the "Grand Tambour," where Chalier lived. You will conclude your visit in the astonishing Chapel of Sainte-Croix where the mysterious Crypt of Brotteaux is located, an ossuary erected in homage to the innocent victims of Lyon.; Imagine discovering Montmartre under the wing of a freedom fighter! A resistant and journalist who survived deportation to participate in the Liberation of France, the delegate of Paris’s 18th arrondissement Joël le Tac is inviting you to come away with him from the crowds of thousands choking Montmartre’s streets. He will lead you through the lesser known cobblestone lanes to reveal a hidden literary heritage. Haunts and hangouts of renowned writers, poets, singers will hold no more secrets for you. You will feel the creative inspiration taking the likes of Picasso and Modigliani as they painted their groundbreaking masterpieces.

You’ll also learn of beloved French writers, giants of the Paris literary scene little known outside of France, such as Aristide Bruant, cabaret comedian and singer who captured the imagination of Toulouse Lautrec, or Gerard de Nerval, poet with his pet lobster that he walked like a dog on a leash! Then again there was Pierre Mac Orlan with his sharp eye on the area’s notorious riffraff. And while you absorb the atmosphere and adventure of days gone by, you’ll be gaining insight into how vibrant, diverse Montmartre shaped the creativity of the inhabitants that made it famous.

But the tour is not just a list of names of yesteryear, for this neighborhood’s culture is alive and well. With your guide’s introductions, the warmth and authenticity of today’s locals will give you a firsthand feel for why the place is still so special.
Highlights: see for yourself why montmartre’s bohemian past survives and thrives into the present; enjoy how your guide, a local montmartrois, tells of the leading lights of the neighborhood’s history, experience for yourself haunts that nurtured montmartre’s creative spirit, hear the music and words of the artists that put montmartre on the map, see for yourself why montmartre’s bohemian past survives and thrives into the present , walk the paths they took and discover famous and lesser known names
