If you wish to find yourself within a Toulouse Lautrec's painting
very simply and easily, this tour is definitely for you. Impregnate yourself of the end of the XIXth century, where time, in this part of Paris seems to be standing still. Every day at dawn, one can witness the beauty of La Basilique du Sacré Coeur (Sacré Heart Basilica) coming through a gentle mist, atop its hillock, while at it's footsteps Montmartre gently wakes up. Painters take their spots, and for the whole day they immortalise the crowds of pedestrians, shoppers, or those simply sitting at Place du Tertre's cafes, with pure vivid colours. At nightfall, amid the beautiful and well-preserved décor, one will discover, hidden within the greatest Parisian cabarets, singers and poets who will surround you in an atmosphere of local dances, one of which, still very popular and quite eccentric, is known the world over as The French Cancan. |
