“This was a very fun afternoon filled with food and tidbits of info about the locally-owned businesses in Montmartre. Julie led a fascinating tour up the hill, winding through the neighborhood to visit shops for bites of traditional French cuisine. She easily accommodated dietary restrictions in our group, and every stop was expertly curated and ready to serve the tour. We met other travelers from the US in our group, and tried food items we would not have sought out on our own. We are still talking about the macrons!”
