Black Montmartre Walking Tour

What do medieval winemaking nuns have to do with a 19-year-old Black American girl dancing in a banana skirt in Paris?

On this tour, we connect those dots, tracing how Montmartre came to be, and the larger global forces that drew Black Americans, Africans, and Caribbeans to this very special part of Paris.

On this walk, you’ll get:

A clear, engaging history of Montmartre beyond the usual stories

The chance to see the neighborhood’s major sites through a fresh lens

A local guide who knows how to avoid most of the crowds (and pigeons )

A deeper understanding of how movement and migration shape places, and why Montmartre became a crossroads for Black life and culture
