Explore the local side of Montmartre with Paris insiders

Explore the authentic side of Montmartre with us, two locals and the founders of "Where should I go?" (an exclusive service that allows travelers to experience the city like a local). On a two-hour immersive walk, we'll take you where no other tour will take you: to the locals' Montmartre! You'll get a taste of true Parisian culture, including artisanal food and quirky boutiques - and you'll even meet local creatives and artisans. A heads up: this is not a historical or sightseeing tour. Think of it more as an afternoon with local friends showing you hidden gems in an unfamiliar part of the city. • We meet at a local bakery for pastries and an introduction before strolling through the charming neighborhoods of Jules Joffrin and Lamarck-Caulaincourt, discovering pretty streets and quaint residential squares, visiting Parisian fashion designers, a shop selling locally produced cheese, and a jam maker. • We continue along a lively market street, stopping at a caramel shop, a gin distillery, a design studio, a vintage designer boutique and a small hidden cemetery. • After the the tour, we can relax together at a hip coffee shop or wine bar (this part is optional, drinks not included) and talk more about life in Paris. You'll leave feeling at home in Montmartre - and eager to explore further with our exclusive digital guide to the places you've visited and more recommendations

Savor Montmartre’s golden age with a renowned food artist

Ever wondered how legendary artists like Picasso and Van Gogh lived in Paris? On this multi-sensory food tour through Montmartre, center of the Belle Epoque, you won’t just hear about this golden age of art, you’ll taste it. We’ll visit the favorite cafes of the artists, poets, and revolutionaries who called Montmartre home and share little-known stories about their time in Paris (like secret artist gatherings). • We’ll begin with a classic Parisian aperitif at historic Café Le Consulat, frequented by Toulouse-Lautrec and Picasso, and discover the ritual of absinthe, the drink that inspired (and haunted) many artists of the era. • You’ll taste an artisanal baguette with aged French cheese at La Fromagerie de Montmartre, a cheese shop where we’ll learn how Van Gogh’s diet of bread, cheese, and wine fueled his creativity. • Next stop: the cabaret where Picasso and Modigliani gathered, where we’ll discuss the role of cheap stews and endless wine in these artists’ creative process. • We’ll wrap up at La Bonne Franquette, one of the few remaining restaurants in Montmartre where Van Gogh, Cézanne, Monet, and Zola once dined. You’ll leave with a full belly and a newfound appreciation for the food that fueled some of history’s most beloved artists. You’ll also walk away with my recommendations for more hidden food spots to explore nearby.

Literary walk along the Seine with a novelist

Stroll along the Seine with me, a writer, a novelist, as I bring Paris’ rich literary history to life. You’ll follow in the footsteps of iconic characters and relive significant moments in literature while discovering the emblematic places that inspired them. • In the streets of Île de la Cité, I’ll recreate the Gothic atmosphere of 15th-century Paris through readings from The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, transporting you to the world of Quasimodo and Esmeralda in front of Notre-Dame itself. • Explore the Latin Quarter's history as a literary and philosophical hub, from Alexandre Dumas to the Lost Generation (Scot Fitzgerald, Hemingway) and the existentialists of the 20th century. I’ll bring to life the heated debates, smoky cafes, and intellectual energy that once filled these streets. You’ll leave with a unique literary understanding of the city, and the words of the greats echoing in your ears.

Visite historique de la Révolution française

Cette visite guidée du quartier du Faubourg Saint-Antoine dans le 11ème et 12ème arrondissement de Paris met à l'honneur la Révolution française de 1789. En effet, le quartier est le berceau de la Révolution. Robin, votre guide, est professeur d'université à Paris et spécialisé dans l'histoire de Paris. Du Faubourg Saint-Antoine à la Bastille, revivons ensemble, heure par heure la journée du 14 juillet 1789. Tout d'abord, le groupe commencera le tour à Faidherbe-Chaligny dans l'est parisien pour découvrir les anciens ateliers d'ébéniste et d'artisans qui ont donné son identité au quartier. Nous explorerons ici les prémices historiques de la Révolution française. Ensuite, les participants découvrirons les petites rues, les petits passages du Paris du 18ème siècle, si typique de la Révolution. L'architecture sera mise à l'honneur tout comme l'Histoire. Nous pousserons les portes pour découvrir les cheminées cachées des manufactures et des industries (rue Saint-Bernard, passage Lhomme). Par la suite, nous déambulerons dans les rues de Charonne et de Lappe à la recherche de ce patrimoine révolutionnaire. Au passage, nous remarquerons que ces rues depuis la Révolution jusqu'à aujourd'hui sont des lieux dynamiques (restaurants, café, boutiques) où les Parisiens aiment flâner. Enfin, nous atteindrons la Bastille et tenterons de retrouver les vestiges de la forteresse royale.
