Join Paris tour guide Patrick Herpe for a captivating livestream tour of Montmartre, exploring its artistic soul, hidden lanes, iconic views, and stories of painters, poets, and Parisian life.
Montmartre is one of the most visited neighborhoods in Paris, and for good reason. It is a remarkable blend of French history, faith, and revolution, all rooted in a village founded in the 12th century that has beautifully preserved its soul. As if that alone weren’t enough to make it unforgettable, Montmartre also became home to some of the world’s greatest painters, singers, sculptors, and writers from the mid-19th century onward. Let’s walk through history together, following in the footsteps of Renoir, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Picasso.
