Private Tour: Montmartre Walking Tour, Dinner and Au Lapin Agile Cabaret

p to Montmartre in the 18th arrondissement. This famous area of Paris is dominated by the white-domed Basilique du Sacré-Coeur, the highest point in the city. Begin with a 1.5-hour walking tour of Montmartre's must-see sights. Your private guide will explain the history and culture of Montmartre as you navigate winding cobblestone streets lined with quaint shops, museums, artist studios, inviting sidewalk cafés and some of Paris’ most storied nightlife spots. Discover the fantastic bohemian life in the 19th and 20th centuries that attracted so many artists and pleasure-seeking folks to this area of Paris. Recall the times of Monet, Renoir, Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, Dali, Van Gough and Modigliani, just a few of the major creative types who lived, worked or partied in Montmartre. After your guided tour, you’ll be taken to a local restaurant to enjoy an intimate dinner. Enjoy a typical French meal with your loved one and toast with wine.

A favorite spot of many 19th-century artists, this is the only remaining traditional cabaret still active in Paris, offering a much more authentic experience. Don’t expect Cancan dancers with sexy feathered costumes — this is a genuine French cabaret with traditional music and songs in an intimate, friendly setting. There are no topless dancers; instead, characters sing lively songs in French accompanied by a pianist, accordionist or guitarist. The pub-like venue has wooden chairs and unchanged décor, letting you experience what cabarets were really like in bygone times. You’ll be offered a glass of cherry wine, a traditional French drink, to enjoy during the show. At the end of the night, your private driver will take you back to your hotel.
