Montmartre Sidecar Tour
Rebels & Rogues:
The Unfiltered Story of Montmartre
Step away from the souvenir shops and dive into the shadows of Paris’s most defiant hilltop.
Montmartre wasn’t always a postcard; it was a sanctuary for the misunderstood, a battlefield for the rebellious, and the birthplace of a counter-culture that would conquer the world.
On this private sidecar expedition, we strip back the layers of the “Village on the Hill” to reveal a history fuelled by revolution, scandal, and spirit.
Montmartre off the beaten track vintage sidecar tour
Tour Highlights
-
The Birth of the Can-Can: We stop at the legendary Moulin Rouge to trace the footsteps of La Goulue, the “Queen of Montmartre,”
-
The Village & The City: Discover the David vs. Goliath struggle between the independent-minded hilltop and the sprawling city of Paris below.
-
The Saint & the Hill: Meet Saint Denis, the martyred patron saint of Paris. We’ll visit the site where history and legend collide, giving Montmartre its name.
-
The Tragic Beauty of Dalida: Visit the tribute to Dalida, the iconic singer who became the epitome of female beauty and part of the soul of the neighborhood.
-
Le Sacré-Cœur. While famous for its views, we’ll uncover its more-than-meets-the-eye story as a divisive symbol of atonement, built to overlook—and perhaps “correct”—the rebellious spirit of the village.
