Montmartre with family
Description
I belong to the family of one of Montmartre's most distinguished personalities, Francisque Poulbot. You will see this name everywhere: street, school, restaurant. Do you know what he did? Francisque Poulbot was a famous illustrator of the children of Montmartre, to whom he gave his name: the little Poulbots. He is also responsible for the unique cultural identity of Montmartre. Discover its history, as well as that of the neighborhood on a lively route, away from the crowds, to satisfy the whole family. We will pass by the Moulin Rouge, the Montmartre cemetery, the earthenware of Francisque Poulbot, the Moulin de la Galette, the vineyard, the water tower, the Sacré Coeur. You can continue your visit yourself through Place du Tertre with the painters, and Place des Abesses, with the mulberry of 'I love you'. This route starts at the bottom of the mound and ends at the top. The distance is about 1.7 km with some elevation gain. No big stairs.

The visit with Emilie is genuine, authentic descendant of one of the most important characters of Monmartre. It's not the usual route. It is something special, sensitive, where Emilie tries very hard to include games, songs, audiovisuals with her mobile and a surprise hidden in her suitcase that is not revealed until the end of the tour. We really enjoyed this alternative trip to the classic tour, to understand another part of Parisian history and poulbots. Thank you Emilie!!
We thank Emilie for this tour, her commentary, and her activities. We learned a lot and will not forget the Titis Parisens, Les Poulbots, and Les Poulbotes. If you want to discover the real Montmartre, its history, and its culture, this is the best tour. We recommend it.
