You meet the guide outside Abbesses, the morning light catching the steep cobbles that lead up to Sacré-Cœur. The hill exhales the city below; narrow lanes, cafés opening, and the distant iron lattice of the Eiffel Tower punctuating the skyline. This private half-day tour threads Montmartre, the Latin Quarter, the Champs-Élysées, and the riverfront into a single, paced run through Parisian layers.
