The experience
Iconic tastes that never go out of style, next to what the rule-breakers are up to…
Enjoy the sights and sounds of daily Parisian life as you learn how to source the best ingredients for a classic French meal.
We sweep through the backstreets of Montmartre, embracing the laid-back mood of the French flâneur…
Perhaps you will fall head over heels for French cheese (like us…)
Paris’s dreamiest little village, by mouth.
From the Moulin Rouge to the Sacré-Cœur, past Place du Tertre and the Clos Montmartre vineyard: the iconic sights, French flavours from sweet to savoury, in the footsteps of Piaf, Renoir, Picasso and Van Gogh.
Beginning with the vibrant presence of the Moulin Rouge, we meet near the world’s most notable windmill and get to know each other over the icons of French taste and history. We love the madcap stories behind picturesque Montmartre: the artists and poets, the singers and the tragedies, the birth of the Can-Can. We check out their old haunts, find scenes from famous paintings, pass one of the few hidden working vineyards in Paris, and explore the Sacré-Cœur.
From the Belle Époque to daring new flavours from upstart bakers, we uncover the stories behind our best culinary artisans, then relax at the end with wine, cheese and baguette. Montmartre is best visited with an insider.

The windmill
We meet near the world’s most notable windmill.
Montmartre is Paris’s dreamiest little village, and we take it by mouth. From the Moulin Rouge we climb slowly, following in the footsteps of Piaf, Renoir, Picasso, Chaplin, Monet, Degas and Van Gogh: their old haunts, where they found inspiration or just a glass of wine, and the scenes from famous paintings.
The streets
Cobbles, the Maison Rose, and a crêpe in hand.
The bohemian backstreets, the Wall of Love, the real Brittany crêpe eaten on the move, and the madcap stories of a neighbourhood that was never short on scandal.
The pastries
From the Belle Époque to the upstart bakers.
Croissants, pain au chocolat and baguette from a local favourite boulanger; unexpected new pâtisseries making waves; macarons, chocolates and éclairs. Then the savoury side: the real Brittany crêpe and a croque monsieur.
The vineyard
One of the few hidden working vineyards in Paris.
We pass the Clos Montmartre on the way to the top, learn how the Can-Can was born, and finish the way Montmartre always has: a glass of French wine with cheese, charcuterie and baguette, savouring the walk in the footsteps of artists, poets and dancers.
