Interesting Tour! - It was the perfect combination of sweet treats and storytelling while strolling the beautiful streets of Paris. You'll be walking on a bit of an incline but with the pacing of the stops, you don't notice it at all. Have water on hand. The guide was fun, pleasant and filled with a lot of knowledge about the area.

Lovely small (very) group guided tour thru Montmare with pastries, stories and Lancelot. - A truly wonderful guided tour thru the beautiful Montmare with our guide, Lancelot. He was great! Very knowledgeable and you could tell he really loved sharing his knowledge and antidotes about the village with our group of 4. If there were any negatives it would be the MANY delicious pastries we sampled as we walked; but is that really a negative? 😉 Highly recommend this tour with Lancelot!

A deliciously tragic treat! - This tour was a highlight of our stay in Paris. Loïk was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable and dry-witted. A unique way to explore Montmartre. The Chouquettes/cream puffs were particularly delicious! Highly recommend!

Sweet treats and tragedies - This was the highlight of my trip to Paris. We had so much fun going to all of the different pastries shops in Paris. It poured down rain most of the time but that didn’t stop us from having a great time. I would highly recommend this for you to do with your significant other or by yourself. The tragic stories were very interesting.

Fun and delicious tour through Montmartre! - It was an absolute blast to do the "Pastries and Tragedies"-Tour with Loïk in Montmartre. He had a lot of interesting facts and stories about Montmartre embedded in a good amount of humour. The pastries Loïk got for us were delicious, too. We can all highly recommend this tour!
