Fortunately, this district has remained intact and has been beautifully restored and renovated over the years for our greatest pleasure! During this pleasant two-and-a-half-hour stroll, we'll walk around winding streets, picturesque stairs, lovely squares, charming countryside houses, famous cabarets, windmills and even a vineyard! I will show you on the way different pictures by famous painters like Renoir, Van Gogh, Picasso, Utrillo and other equally talented artists, as well as the places where they lived, worked and suffered. I will also give you an insight into the lives of other personalities who were closely connected to the quarter. Black and white photographs will help you relive the heyday of Montmartre too! Thanks to a number of great anecdotes my grandparents used to tell me when I lived with them in Montmartre as a child, you will discover the area as if you were a true Parisian. If you seek authenticity as a traveler, you will be delighted by this fabulous walk full of unforgettable surprises. And you'll have plenty of opportunities to take fantastic pictures!
