Hi, I'm Monika! I am a Medical student at the University of Paris. I have a polish background but I grew up in Paris and still study here up until today. I'm passionate about Paris and its history because it's a city you never finish experiencing! No matter what age you are, nor what type of traveller you are, you can always find something exciting for you here. I'd be happy to show you around, and give you all my tips, from my personal best walks/spots to hidden gems to make you want to come back again (or stay longer :p)! (Dzien dobry nazywam sie Monika jestem studentka medycyny w Paryzu i z przyjemnoscia was po Montmartre poprowadze :) )

Tour description

Looking for a mix of history, architecture, fun facts, and amazing views? This tour is for you! We will be visiting 3 neighborhoods: the lesser known but romantic New Athens(🟠), then Pigalle(🟢), and Montmartre(🟣).

🟠The tour will start with some Napoleonic vibes with a short visit to the Church of the Holy Trinity and the Square Etiennes d'Orves. We will then continue our journey through the XIXth century in the street Blanche with the Théâtre de Paris while coming across the picturesque Blanche fire station.
(🟢)We will then arrive in front of the vibrant Moulin Rouge, come across the place that used to be the Le Chat Noir cabaret, and end up at the famous Bouillon Pigalle.
(🟣)We will then start our walk to Montmartre through the street Houdon to arrive at the Place des Abesses, see the Church of Saint John, and the I Love you wall. We will continue our ascent with the Bateau Lavoir residence followed by Dalida's house, the Galette's Windmill, and the Passe-Muraille statue. We will then travel back in time to antiquity with the Saint-Denis statue and see the avenue Junot, a key avenue in the history of Montmartre. We will come back to the XXth century with Dalida's statue, the "Emily in Paris" famous Pink House, and the vine grapes of the Clos Montmartre.

We will finish our tour with Place du Tertre, the square of artists and painters, and the Sacré Coeur Basilica with an amazing view of Paris as a reward for this intense visit.

Monika ist ein super Guide. Eine Führung mit ihr würden wir auf jeden Fall empfehlen. Die Führung ist gut organisiert man bekommt neben einer kurzen Anleitung was man in der Führung zu sehen bekommt, auch deren zeitliche Einordnung. Neben Vorstellung der Sehenswürdigeiten haben wir auch die historischen Einblicke der jeweiligen Sehenswürdigkeiten bekommen. Monika nimmst sich auch Zeit um Fragen zu beantworten und hat den einen oder anderen Tipp für neulinge in Paris! Monika Dankeschön!

Monika is very knowledgeable of the area and very nice! It was very apparent she put in a lot of effort preparing for an educational tour, and brought a long visuals to give historical context to the landmarks we viewed. Overall a great experience!

Très bon tour de Montmartre et ses alentours ! Monika explique avec beaucoup d'anecdotes les origines du quartier. Parisienne, j'ai pu redécouvrir sous un oeil nouveau Montmartre. Je recommande à tous cette visite !
