  • Gourmet Footsteps in Montmartre: A Culinary Walking Tour with a Celebrity Twist

    Our guides in Montmartre are genuine local celebrity artists, whose attire captures the charm and ambiance of the iconic neighborhood you're about to explore, in a cozy group of no more than 20 people. Your guide will introduce you to their neighborhood, offering insights that only a local can provide. We value your time and money, recognizing that this may be your only visit to our city. Therefore, we've designed our Montmartre tours to guarantee an authentic and enjoyable experience in Paris’s most beloved village-like area.

     

    Your adventure begins at the world’s most renowned cabaret, The Moulin Rouge, which, after years of hosting famous performers and popularizing the iconic Can-Can, became a symbol of prestige for the artists who performed there. Legends such as Edith Piaf, Yves Montand, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Charles Aznavour, Liza Minnelli, Elton John, Ray Charles, Bing Crosby, Ginger Rogers, and Ella Fitzgerald have all taken the stage, contributing to the venue’s legendary status.

     

    As you meander through and ascend the streets of Montmartre, you'll pass by and visit legendary sites like the Café des 2 Moulins (made famous by the movie “Amélie”), Place du Tertre (where artists continue to congregate), Maison Rose (as seen in “Emily in Paris”), the Wall of Love (displaying the words “I Love You” in 250 languages), Sacré-Cœur Basilica (overlooking the city), and more. Along the way, your expert guide will share fascinating facts, entertaining stories, and insider information only a local would know.

     

    The culmination of your walk is a splendid hidden gem of a restaurant with seasonal menus crafted from the finest locally sourced and fresh ingredients. This is the meal you’ve been anticipating, perfectly setting the stage for your most enviable Instagram photos. You will have options for an appetizer (what the French call “entrée”), a main course (what the French call “plat”), dessert, and a choice of beverage (soft drink or coffee), with vegetarian and gluten-free options available upon request.

     

    Your friendly guide will provide an overview of the meal you're about to savor, along with “tips on tipping” to ensure you feel at ease.

     

    Don’t forget to ask your guide for recommendations on other special highlights of Paris, to ensure you return home not just with pictures, but with a genuine connection that will sustain you until your next visit to the City of Light.
