About This Experience

Your experience

It can be considered the most romantic district of Paris, since it is the one that saw the birth of the artistic movement of the same name. Now called "SoPi" for "South Pigalle", it was however the favorite area of artists in the 19th century. It is thus in the footsteps of Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas or Eugène Delacroix that this visit accompanies visitors through mansions, artists' studios, intimate green spaces...
