Artists, Rebels, and Dreamers in Montmartre
Discover Montmartre with Madame Tartempion, an American who’s called Paris home for over a decade and knows its stories inside out. She guides you through staircases, hidden vineyards, historic cabarets, and corners once frequented by Van Gogh, Picasso, and Toulouse-Lautrec. You’ll learn how gypsum built Paris, how revolutions left their traces here, and how this hill became a gathering place for artists and dreamers. Walk the same streets where creativity thrived and experience Montmartre as a neighborhood shaped by art, history, and resilience.
Created by Madame Tartempion

"We loved to be able to walk through paris enjoying the view not being stopped by someone walking us but to go at our own speed but also hearing something about the neighbourhood and the history here, thank you for making our stay here more special" - Larissa K.

"so much fun walking through the vineyards! I loved the atmosphere and learning how it all ties to Paris' bohemian past. Definitely recommend this tour to others!."
"Fantastic experience! We felt like we were on a private tour and saw things we would have definately not seen had we gone solo. Thank you for a wonderful experience. "
"This was a super fun tour! Loved the hidden path to Sacré-Cœur. Such beautiful spots and listening to the history really added to the experience. I’d do it again."
"This was really great and well paced!! There’s one stop (3?) near the beginning where it doesn’t tell you to go down the stairs — adding that would be nice :) but I loved this, especially the back view of the basilica"
