Private Montmartre walking tour (opens in a new tab)

1 h 30 min

Beyond the tourist folklore, feel the deep, secular spirituality of the “Mount of Martyrs”, from the Romanesque abbey church, inaugurated in 1133, to the prominent Basilica of the Sacred Heart, inaugurated in 1918. Appreciate the 18th century “follies”, such as the Château des brouillards, rich country houses built amidst vineyards and mills. Attached to Paris in 1860, the hilltop of Montmartre became a focal point for the artistic ferment of Impressionism and “bohemian life”. Follow in the footsteps of Van Gogh, Renoir, Suzanne Valadon, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso…by discovering Le Lapin agile, La bonne franquette, La maison rose, le Moulin de la galette, and by visiting the museum of Montmartre!

Flâneurs of Belleville: A Self-Guided Audio Tour of the Neighbourhood's Art (opens in a new tab)

30 min – 45 min

Flânerie (or city wandering) is a cherished rite of modern Parisian culture. But how does one wander à la française? On this self-guided audio tour, we focus on the in-betweens of Paris: we will walk the seam between the historically and culturally rich neighbourhoods of Belleville and Ménilmontant, and explore lesser-known neighbourhood gems, history, and culture. At the same time, this tour will teach you the art of flânerie: how to wander a city and read it like a storybook, or play it like a game, rather than simply choosing the straightest and quickest shot from one famous monument to the next. Your tour guide, Jennifer Solheim, is a French and Francophone literature scholar.
