  • Oh là là! I just received an interesting email publicizing a Paris tour running through mid-November called “Montmartre en Chansons," a deep dive at the heart of the artistic and bohemian Montmartre, following the musical footsteps of Édith Piaf, Charles Aznavour, Jacques Brel, Dalida and many other artists by learning a wealth of anecdotes about their life in Montmartre, but also about the local cabarets. They're in French on weekends and holidays and in English on Friday afternoons. Private tours (in French or English) are also available on request during the week and on some Sundays.
