Detailed description:

Everyone knows that the view of Paris from the snow-white church of Sacré-Coeur is breath-taking. Yet Montmartre, the place where Bohemia earned its name, hides many more fascinating mysteries. Discover hidden vineyards, delightful windmills and the cafés where some of the most talented artists of the world once drank and discussed art.

The tour takes you through a whirlwind of history from the times when Montmartre was still a rustic village. Poor artists in search of fame came here to paint, write, and enjoy the earthly pleasures of life.

You will discover where Picasso, Matisse, Apollinaire and others once roamed. Wander around the Place du Tertre, where tourists get their portraits done by street artists, and admire Montmartre Cemetery, a place where time hangs as heavy as the moss on the gravestones. Here you can find the final resting places of such great spirits as Hector Berlioz, Heinrich Heine, and Edgar Degas.

Visit local venues not open to the general public, and learn the story of the man who walked through walls or the one who feared water. Starting at the venue of the world-famous cabaret Chat Noir, and ending on the saucy and exquisite Place Pigalle, this tour gives you an insight into bohemian Paris as never before.
