What food and drink will I actually taste?

You'll sample pastries, chocolates, wine, cured meats (charcuterie), and cheese from local artisans throughout the tour. The guide will reveal additional surprises as you explore.

How steep is the Montmartre hill walk?

Montmartre sits on a significant elevation, so expect considerable uphill sections on cobblestone streets. The tour is designed as an active walking experience, so reasonable fitness and sturdy footwear are essential.

Is this tour suitable for vegetarians or those with dietary restrictions?

The tour includes cured meats and cheese among its tastings. Contact the supplier before booking if you have strict dietary requirements, allergies, or food preferences to confirm alternatives can be accommodated.

How many people are typically on the tour?

Tours operate as small-group experiences, allowing for personalised attention from your guide and intimate interaction with local producers. Exact group size varies; confirm with the operator at booking.

What makes Montmartre's food culture unique?

Montmartre's 19th-century identity as an independent village and artistic haven shaped its strong local food traditions. Neighbourhood bistros, patisseries, and wine bars reflect its bohemian heritage and remain bastions of traditional Parisian cuisine.

Do I need to book in advance, and is the tour wheelchair accessible?

Advance booking is recommended. The tour involves steep hills, cobblestone streets, and significant elevation gain, making it not suitable for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility.

About this activity

Explore Montmartre's bohemian heritage on foot while sampling authentic local food and wine in its charming cobbled streets. This 2.5-hour walking tour blends the neighbourhood's rich artistic history with hands-on gastronomy, visiting artisan producers and tasting pastries, chocolate, cheese, cured meats, and wine.

The hilltop village of Montmartre used to be independent from Paris until the 19th century. As a separate but nearby town, it was considered a great weekend getaway spot to relax, have fun, and enjoy life outside of Paris. Known for attracting communities of authors, artists and musicians, Montmartre has to this day remained famous as a center of bohemian life. Join us on this walking tour featuring a mix of history, culture, and tastings as we walk through the small cobbled streets and enjoy sampling local cuisine. You'll have samples of pastries, chocolates, wine, and savory meats and cheeses; and more surprises await you as you discover Montmartre! Scale the steep hill of Montmartre with your guide and travel back in time to a lost age of carefree fun.

our host Aiko really knew their stuff and a fish taco from a tiny street stall was the highlight. Mid-week so it was quiet so it wasnt too busy. Did it on our first morning, and first thing in the morning. Would book again no question.
