The walking tour will highlight the famous cabarets where many artists and chansonniers performed. While many music halls and concert venues still exist, anecdotes and photographs bring lost cabarets back to life and explain why Montmartre and its boulevards enjoy worldwide fame.
From Anvers to Place Blanche, magical places past and present will be revealed, along with anecdotes about the many personalities, famous or anonymous, who frequented them. Indeed, beyond the charm of the Butte, Montmartre was long an essential destination for partygoers and night owls in search of thrills.
The tour will also explore the neighborhood's scandalous past, a haven of the underworld and a gathering place for criminals and prostitution.
The end of the walk in front of the Moulin Rouge will offer a moment to reflect on what remains, in the end, of the myth of Pigalle.
Good to know: The meeting place for the tour will be indicated on your voucher after purchase.
