of Montmartre

Understand the relationship between Paris and Montmartre. Through the centuries, the ties that bound the lives of these two towns were often those of vice, and violence.

This tour is carefully built for those who wish to know the flamboyant yet gritty underbelly of the soul of Montmartre.
