What you can expect
Hello!
My name is Murielle, I'm French and I live next to the lovely and picturesque Montmartre area for 15 years.
Each time somebody is visiting me or if I want to have a nice walk, I go to Montmartre.
So I know the neighborhood pretty well and I designed a 5km tour, that goes almost to every place I find attractive. I combine both quiet and vibrant part of Montmartre, you'll love it.
The walking part of the tour can last between 1h30 and 2h30 hours, depending on the time you want to spend. And we can stay one more hour in a French café at the end of the tour.
Feel free to ask questions about the tour or give me special requests of places that you absolutely want to see in Montmartre. There's a chance, I've already included them, but I'll be happy to discover new places!
-----
Je m’appelle Murielle, je suis française et j’habite près du pittoresque quartier de Montmartre depuis plus de 15 ans.
Dès que j’ai des visiteurs ou que j’ai envie de faire une agréable balade, je vais à Montmartre.
Donc je connais ce quartier comme ma poche et j’ai créé un parcours d’environ 5km, qui passe dans tous les lieux que je trouve intéressants à visiter. Et en particulier, ceux que les touristes néophytes ne connaissent pas.
Notre marche dure entre 1h30 et 2h30, selon le temps que vous avez à consacrer. Et nous pourrons rester une heure de plus dans un café à la fin de la balade.
N’hésitez pas à me poser des questions sur cette visite ou bien me formuler des demandes particulières d’endroits que vous avez envie de voir. Il y a de fortes chances que je les ai déjà inclus dans le parcours, mais je serais ravie de varier mon itinéraire et de peut-être découvrir encore d’autres lieux !
A bientôt!

I asked Murielle to help me on a customized tour to see Parks and Gardens in Paris. She did an amazing job! Very kind and knowledgable. Also, Murielle was really good at slowing down at certain points to help me see details I would have missed on my own. I highly recommend her as a guide. Wonderful guide!

My wife and I very much enjoyed our tour of Montmartre with Murielle. She was very personable and knowledgeable about the area. We appreciated that she did the tour in french as we requested so we could practice our french as we toured the area. She willingly tailored the tour to our interests. Towards the end the rain was starting to get to us so we ducked into a cafe to enjoy a coffee to round out the tour. Excellent Tour of Montmartre

Murielle was a great guide through the streets of Montmartre. She showed us some great architecture and hidden streets with so much charm. We got the popular sights as well but it was a lovely morning walk with a great guide. We ended in a coffee shop to end the tour. Wonderful walk through Montmartre

Murielle made our time in Montmatre very special as if meeting an old friend. The backstreets and stories as to Montmatre were wonderful and we saw things we would not have ever seen! Just perfect on all levels. Murielle is the best!

My husband and I toured Montmatre with Murielle and we feel like we found the real neighborhood. Although we
Had been to Montmatre once before, we had seen only the very touristy parts of the area. Murielle showed us the back streets and told us about the history and architecture of the area. I highly recommend this tour

As one of our group of four has some mobility problems, our guide, Murielle, put together a shorter tour with easier walking for us. Murielle was charming, informative and entertaining and we enjoyed our tour with her. With her help we saw parts of Montmartre that were quiet, off the beaten track, and which we would not have seen without Murielle's help. Charming, tailored tour of Montmartre

Strolling through Montmarte with Muriel’s felt so easy and comfortable it was like catching up with an old friend in her favourite neighbourhood. We dodged down small streets and alleyways to see the best of what the area had to offer in terms of street art and other little gems and avoided the crowds. I had a great time and would highly recommend spending a few hours in Murielle’s company exploring Paris. Gillian (ireland)A stroll through Montmarte with an old friend

Murielle is a great guide and she really knows the neighborhood! Even though this can be a touristy area, Murielle makes it feel really unique, like you're discovering something secret. At the end I found out that she has other walking tours, and I definitely want to go on another. This is really a special experience and I implore anyone visiting Paris to try it! Absolutely wonderful

We spent New Year's morning walking around Montmartre with Murielle and she was an outstanding guide. She pointed out many small but interesting features of the neighborhood and made the entire area come alive. She also recommended a restaurant in the area for lunch that was fantastic. Excellent tour and guide

Murielle was extremely pleasant and kind. Her tour of Montmartre was wonderful, she covered key landmarks and art displays and also provided the historical backgrounds to each. She also highlighted famous bistros (by film or other) and award-winning bakeries! Montmartre is absolutely exquisite and a must see. I highly recommend Murielle as a guide. Wonderful!

Murielle could not have been more flexible or helpful. She was willing to incorporate all the sites I wanted to see .... and then some! When she realized I was interested in street art, she went out of her way to make sure I was able to see some beautiful examples. The weather was perfect but the company was even beter!A wonderful day!

We really enjoyed our tour with Murielle, which we mainly did in French but with a little English from time to time! We saw parts of the village that we probably would not have seen on our own, and also found out curious and interesting facts. Merci Murielle!Great way to discover the real Montmartre

Murielle took our family (2 adults and 2 teens) on a wonderful tour through Montmartre. The route was beautiful and the pace was excellent. Murielle made sure we saw the touristy highlights but she also gave us a great sense of the local life and environment. She was willing to tailor the tour to our needs and checked in with us frequently. We sat with her at a cafe for a brief time, which was really relaxing and fun. She is incredibly nice, conscientious, and knowledgeable. She even provided us with a printed overview of the areas we walked, the landmarks, and her contact information. She definitely went above and beyond our expectations, and her tour was a true highlight of our brief trip to Paris. I would recommend her most highly for anyone looking for an excellent walking tour of Montmartre!Outstanding Tour, Highly Recommend

Murielle was a wonderful guide and provided us with an appreciation of the buildings, parks and socialising aspects of the area. She was understanding of our age and fitness to tailor the tour so we got to see Sacre Coeur but did so in a gradual climb as well as finding my favourite street scene from a photo I took in 2006. A wonderful guide and person.Opening our eyes to the beauty of Montmatr

Murielle’s tour of Montmartre would be very hard to beat.
Throughout it was hard to believe we were still in Paris, as Murielle guided us through quiet and leafy streets, away from crowds and city hustle.
A local, Murielle was able to point out the quirky and interesting sites and views and giving the local knowledge that sets her tour apart.
We’d happily do the tour again, and recomnend if you’re in Paris, you should do it as well.Montmartre for locals

Murielle gave us a delightful tour of the Montmartre area of Paris at mid-day yesterday. We requested her tour the prior evening, and we appreciate that she accepted our request on such short notice. Murielle guided us to several beautiful and interesting sites we never would have found on our own. We enjoyed visiting with her all along the way and at the very end when we had a refreshing drink together at a small cafe. Walking Tour of Montmarte

Our group of three spent a wonderful afternoon with Murielle. Murielle was knowledgeable and quite familiar with the area. We walked through neighborhoods and eventually arrived at the Sacre -Coeur. She was aware of the crowds along our way, and opted for alternate routes so we could enjoy the sites. She was also aware of the amount of steps we climbed and checked in with us to be sure the walk was alright. Murielle shared the information in a clear and interesting manner and we enjoyed a drink together in a local cafe at the end of the tour.
Meeting up with Murielle was easy as she contacted us before the tour and gave directions where we could meet. This tour is highly recommended if you want to experience the history and see the sights of Montmartre. Walking Tour of Montmartre

Murielle showed us many interesting back streets and sights in the Montmartre area that we would not have found on our own. She is very personable and a fast walker; she let us rest when we needed to. She explained history of the area and gave us information about what we were seeing.

We had a fantastic time with Murielle. She picked a great spot to meet which was easily accessible from the Metro. We had a leisurely stroll through the streets of Montmartre where she pointed out great views and historic areas. Murielle was very accommodating in changing the tour based on our input. Murielle felt like a close friend by the time we finished in a café. The conversations were great and we would have been happy to tour all of Paris with her. This was my first experience using WithLocals and we are hooked.Fast Friends

Simply a delightful three hours spent uncovering this neighbourhood. Artists, streets, stories and architecture. Murielle has it all with stories in abundance. Didn’t notice the hill climbs as we meandered with Murielle from a vineyard to a view to a love wall and finally said goodbye with a drink in a cafe. Thank you M. Meandering Montmarte with Murielle

Spending time with Murielle is like spending time with an old friend. She takes you on walk around the back ways and by ways of Montmartre and along the way you chat about this and that picking up as you go, tidbits of information about this vibrant area of Paris. We were in a group of four and while we covered alot of ground Murielle was able to spend time with each of us answering specific questions and providing insight that we were able to use to explore further on our own. Thanks Murielle and I hope your Sunday was a big success!!Enjoying Montmartre with an old friend

More about me
Bonjour!
Meet your new French friend in Paris… or in the Loire Valley, because I live there now and come to Paris only once in a while, mainly to do my beloved walking tours.
I lived in Paris for 20 years and spent an incredible time walking, running or rollerblading in this fascinating city.
I’m absolutely not a professional touristic guide, but a real local that enjoys sharing what I know and what I like.
I mainly speak English and French, but can also do a tour in Spanish (if you are patient enough) and can speak a little German, Portuguese, Italian.
