Peek in a bohemian heart

Begin your journey through the charming streets of Montmartre, led by an expert local guide. This historic neighborhood was where great artists like Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Van Gogh lived, drank, danced, and created. Your local guide will take you to Picasso's residence and workshop as they narrate stories of his youth! But that's not all, wander through cobblestone alleys drunk on bohemian vibes as you discover the secrets of cabaret and the French Cancan dance. Visit Paris's last remaining vineyard and an artists' square where people still gather to paint, sell, and buy art. You can pose and commission a portrait too!

A little bit of everything and you'll leave this tour an expert on the old world charm of Paris.
