Ever wondered how legendary artists like Picasso and Van Gogh lived in Paris? On this multi-sensory food tour through Montmartre, center of the Belle Epoque, you won’t just hear about this golden age of art, you’ll taste it. We’ll visit the favorite cafes of the artists, poets, and revolutionaries who called Montmartre home and share little-known stories about their time in Paris (like secret artist gatherings).
• We’ll begin with a classic Parisian aperitif at historic Café Le Consulat, frequented by Toulouse-Lautrec and Picasso, and discover the ritual of absinthe, the drink that inspired (and haunted) many artists of the era.
• You’ll taste an artisanal baguette with aged French cheese at La Fromagerie de Montmartre, a cheese shop where we’ll learn how Van Gogh’s diet of bread, cheese, and wine fueled his creativity.
• Next stop: the cabaret where Picasso and Modigliani gathered, where we’ll discuss the role of cheap stews and endless wine in these artists’ creative process.
• We’ll wrap up at La Bonne Franquette, one of the few remaining restaurants in Montmartre where Van Gogh, Cézanne, Monet, and Zola once dined.
You’ll leave with a full belly and a newfound appreciation for the food that fueled some of history’s most beloved artists. You’ll also walk away with my recommendations for more hidden food spots to explore nearby.
