I am a filmmaker and artist based in Paris, and have been working as a tour guide since 2020. I was drawn to France and Paris for its rich cultural history, particularly in the domains of art, literature, and cinema. I came here in 2015 for a two-year post-masters in a prestigious art school in the north of France and have since completed another master's in the History and Philosophy of Art. As well as a passion for art I'm also fascinated by the rich and diverse history of the city and love to share all the unusual and surprising historical anecdotes that I've picked up to along the way.

Tour description

Welcome the mythic world Montmartre, an eclectic and historically legendary neighbourhood of Paris, a place that has always been a buzzing hive of creative activity and the dwelling place of some of the most influential artists of all time.

Over the years Montmatre has been a beacon to artists of every creed, but it also become famed for its nightlife, its cafes serving absinthe, its red light district, its 'bals' and cabaret halls, a place where 'anything goes', a place pushing the boundaries in all directions. 

We will see the magnificent Sacré Coeur, and wander through the quaint streets passed:

  • The Cabaret Patachou
  • Through Place de Tertre
  • Passing an old vineyard
  • The bust of Dilada
  • The 'Passe-Muraille'
  • La Moulin de la Galette
  • The Moulin Rouge
  • Le Chat Noir
  • Passed the dwelling places, of Picasso, Modigliani, Georges Braque, Suzanne Valadon, Auguste Renoir, Vincent van Gough, and many, many more. 


Book a tour with me and soak up the rich artistic atmosphere and follow in the footsteps of the legends of Montmatre. You will be beguiled by the strange fascinating anecdotes from Montmatre history.

I had the pleasure of joining the Tour. It was an experience I'll treasure. The tour took place on a crisp Wednesday evening, March 13, 2024, and it was the highlight of my visit to Paris. What set this tour apart for me was the guide's exceptional knowledge and enthusiasm. Their expertise shone brightly as they unfolded the intricate tapestry of Paris's art history, which, in my opinion, is the most fascinating and essential part of understanding the city's soul. The guide didn't just lead us through streets and past monuments; they brought the very essence of Paris to life with stories that merged the past with the present, leaving us with a profound appreciation of the city's artistic legacy. The neighborhoods we explored were eclectic and artistically rich, showcasing the diversity and vibrancy of Parisian culture. It was not just a tour; it was a journey through time, captivated by the legends and mysteries that have shaped Paris into the iconic city it is today. For anyone looking to delve deep into the heart of Paris and explore its artistic and historical wonders, I cannot recommend Walkative! Tours enough. Their professionalism, knowledge, and passion make them a top choice for anyone eager to discover the true essence of Paris.!
