Montmartre is often remembered through the men who painted, wrote, drank, and performed here. HERA tells a different story. This walking tour follows the women of Montmartre: artists, rebels, performers, and cultural figures, who helped shape the neighbourhood’s creative identity, often without receiving the same recognition as their male counterparts. Through village streets, hidden corners, and places of artistic memory, we’ll explore how women created space for freedom, ambition, reinvention, and self-expression in one of Paris’s most mythologised neighbourhoods. But HERA is not only about the past. Along the way, we’ll also look at how women continue to shape Montmartre today through creativity, independent businesses, local projects, and cultural spaces. This walk connects hidden histories with the living neighbourhood: stories of ambition, freedom, resilience, and transformation, set against the backdrop of one of Paris’s most iconic and inspiring districts.

Our 35 years of experience is the decisive factor that sets us apart from others. As multilingual locals, we know the region well, understand your wishes and can meet your expectations at the highest level.
