Paris Trip Overview
On this Artwalk you will discover sights of Montmartre through the eyes of the artists & bohemians who lived here in the late 1800s.
During the Belle Epoque (1870s-1914) Montmartre became famous for its cafés, dance halls & cabarets. Many struggling artists came here: Renoir, Picasso, Van Gogh, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec…to name a few. We will see where they lived & worked as well as the cafés & cabarets which inspired them. To put these locations into context, I share archived photos of Montmartre from the late 1800s, as well as the paintings the artists created.
This Art Walk will help you understand how Impressionism was born through the work of just a few rebellious artists who wanted to see the world differently…. and how Impressionism gave birth to modern art.
We will visit charming cobblestoned streets, ivy-covered cottages, windmills and even a vineyard. In winter, this artwalk is offered in the evening….Experience the charm of Montmartre by lamplight.
