Fantastic tour!

Ellen_W, Apr 2026
This was a great tour of the Jewish district in le Marais, and Montmartre. In Montmartre we stopped at the art school where Degas, Renoir, Cezanne and others painted and spent some time in front of the Sacre Coeur hearing some interesting stories. We recommend this tour.

Amazing experience
