The Iconic Areas of Paris: Montmartre
Every year many visitors flock to Montmartre, but most miss out on the authentic hidden side of this special place. Away from the crowds, you can still find the Montmartre of Picasso, Toulouse Lautrec and Van Gogh, where artists lived, drank and painted, exchanging their paintings for food and art supplies. Hear their fascinating stories and those of the raucous cabarets and music halls where the French Cancan was invented.
Today Montmartre remains a delightful and typical quarter of Paris, proud of its history and inhabited by Monmartrois who remain passionate about their unique area. Explore tiny alleyways, evocative cobbled streets and quiet squares, discover a beautiful working vineyard and lively café terraces. See the artist's square, where modern day artists still gather each day to paint and sell their works, and admire the spectacular views over the city from the foot of the Sacré Coeur.
Discover the real Montmartre, one of the best-kept secrets in the city.
The Iconic Areas of Paris: The Latin Quarter
Traditional haunt of writers and scholars, the vibrant and eclectic Latin Quarter is bohemian Paris at its best. Walk in the footsteps of the iconic writers and poets of the Lost Generation writers who lived and wrote in Paris, immortalising their lives here in print. Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein found their inspiration here, making Paris of the 1920’s the artistic centre of the world.
Today you’ll discover cobbled streets, quirky bookshops and lively cafés. We’ll take you to the very heart of this delightful area, past glorious outdoor food markets, tree-lined streets and pretty squares roamed by cats and stylish students. See the Sorbonne University, founded in 1237, and the mighty Pantheon, guarding the remains of France’s most venerable men and women. Witness the ongoing restoration of the iconic Cathedral of Notre Dame as she turns the next page of her long history.
The authentic Latin Quarter is packed with history and full of surprises.
