Experience Paris the way the city is best discovered – on foot.
On this small-group walking tour, your German-speaking guide will lead you through the historical heart of Paris: from the magnificent Opéra Garnier to elegant squares, royal gardens, the Seine, and the famous Notre-Dame cathedral.
But this tour is much more than a classic sightseeing walk. Behind the imposing facades are stories that make Paris what it is today.
Learn why women were once not allowed to sit in certain seats in the opera house, why the Pont Neuf ("New Bridge") is actually the oldest bridge in the city, how the Place de la Concorde became the dramatic setting of the French Revolution, and why the Louvre's glass pyramid caused heated debate when it opened.
As you discover the Opéra Garnier, Place Vendôme, the Jardin des Tuileries, the Louvre, the banks of the Seine, the Île de la Cité, and finally Notre-Dame, your guide will bring more than 2,000 years of Parisian history to life with thrilling narration, historical background, and numerous insider tips.
This city tour is ideal for those visiting Paris for the first time and wanting to get their bearings – as well as for return visitors who want to experience the French capital with fresh eyes and discover its hidden stories.
