THE HILL OF MONTMARTRE
A Private Tour with a Delightfully Zingy Tasting
Summary
If you want an experience that combines taking your time in a personable setting, gaining a true understanding of the area you are visiting and ending on a sweet note with a small tasting, this tour is for you. Starting off strong with the iconic view of the steps leading to the Sacré-Coeur, make your way towards the Basilica. Rather than climbing its steep stairs, cruise through the picturesque and winding streets of Montmartre with Laura. You will hear all about the forgotten hard-working people that hustled in this village once covered with vineyards and windmills. You will learn how it became a theatre of rebellion where brave men and women fought against foreign invaders and their own government for their freedom. And it is not the (French) Revolution you think of! Laura will tell you about famous artists who helped shape the festive lifestyle so dear to its inhabitants. By the end of this tour, as you look at the City of Light, you will wish you could immortalise the view with a paint brush! But do not threat: Laura will not leave you on this bittersweet ending as she will lead you to a local shop where you will have a small tasting of French citrus-themed delicacies. An opportunity to interact with a local merchant while learning about the products themselves, as well as the people and the farm that crafts them.
