The Experience

I didn’t expect the first thing I’d notice in Montmartre to be the sound — shoes on old cobblestones, a busker’s accordion echoing off painted shutters. Our guide, Camille, waved us over by a tiny crêperie that smelled like warm butter and sugar. She handed me a folded crêpe, still steaming. I burned my tongue a bit (classic), but honestly, it was worth it. There’s something about eating sweets outside, with Sacré-Cœur peeking over rooftops, that makes you feel like you’re in on some Paris secret.

We wandered past the Moulin Rouge — just a flash of red windmill between traffic — and then up toward Place du Tertre. Camille pointed out where Van Gogh used to live (I never would’ve guessed; the building looks so ordinary now). At one stop, we tried these tiny macarons that were almost too pretty to eat. I dropped half of mine but ate it anyway. The shop owner laughed and said something about “pas de problème” — I think she liked that we weren’t too precious about it.

The best part? Sitting outside with our little plates of chocolate and pastries while people-watching. It was chilly but not cold; you could smell coffee from the café next door mixing with the sweetness from our table. Someone started sketching us from across the square — maybe just for practice, but it felt oddly special. The whole afternoon felt slow in a good way, like Paris wanted us to linger.

What’s included
