This deambulatory show revolves around some of the famous writers who wrote or lived on the Butte Montmartre. The narrator, Joël Le Tac, is a journalist, a member of the Resistance, a companion of the Liberation, a deportee and finally a member of parliament for the 18th arrondissement. He meets the audience in his square, then guides them through some typical Montmartre locations, introducing them to Francis Carco, Roland Dorgelès, Pierre Mac Orlan and other well-known authors. 

The artist will play all the characters from the towns, with a different incarnation each time. Audiences with a love of literature will discover the literary worlds, unusual anecdotes and words of the authors interpreted in situ. 

The Butte Montmartre is a popular tourist destination, and the tours on offer are extremely varied and plentiful. Spectators will either be seated on the benches in the square if they are free, then standing along the route, or standing along the entire route. The show is not static, with the audience accompanying the artist over a distance of around 600m. 

This show is at the same time literary, historical, and moving through the empathy aroused by the characters and anecdotes.The show is followed by an aperitif at the artist's nearby flat.
