I am Nicole Donati, Italian by birth and Parisian by adoption. I have been living in Paris for five years and, over time, this city has become my home, my inspiration, my daily life. I am an art historian and a great lover of culture in all its forms. I love getting lost in lesser-known museums, observing the architecture of the most authentic neighborhoods and telling stories that cannot be found in traditional guidebooks. Those who participate in my tours do not just find a guide, but someone who truly lives the city and who wants to share its true soul — the one that hides behind the glossy shop windows and postcards. Why choose a tour with me? Because I will not simply take you to see Paris, but to understand it, to listen to it, to feel it. My tours are designed for those who are curious, for those who want to go beyond the usual itineraries, for those seeking a more authentic contact with the city. Each itinerary is built with passion, attention and a pinch of wonder.

Tour description

Welcome to Montmartre!
I'm Nicole, an Italian art historian and tour guide. I've been living in France for five years, and Montmartre was my first Parisian love — and my home for a long time. In this tour I'll take you to discover the neighborhood not as tourists, but through the eyes of someone who has actually lived there.

It is not a traditional guided tour, but a narrated walk between art, poetry and everyday life. Every alley reveals a story, every glimpse is a fragment of art. My gaze is double: that of someone who has studied art and that of someone who has lived among these streets.

What is this tour?
An artistic and cultural Free Tour , combining iconic places with hidden gems. Montmartre is a world apart: a former artists' village, still vibrant and timeless. I will share with you stories of Van Gogh, Picasso, but also secret corners loved by locals.

What we will see:
Moulin Rouge, Café des Deux Moulins, Moulin de la Galette, Van Gogh's house, Bateau-Lavoir, Lapin Agile, the vineyards of Montmartre, hidden corners and, finally, the Sacré-Coeur Basilica.

Why choose this tour?
Because it combines passion, knowledge and authenticity!

Book now : discover the true soul of Montmartre, between art, stories and wonder.
