Atlanta: Martin Luther King Jr. Historic District Guided Walking Tour (in French)｜United States

Come and stroll through one of Atlanta's best-known and most history-rich neighborhoods, Sweet Auburn. Discover the birthplace and workplace of Martin Luther King Jr., key sites in Black history and the American Civil Rights Movement, and off-the-beaten-track locations that even the locals don't know about.

We'll start our tour on Auburn Avenue, the neighborhood's main street, where we can see the King family home, Ebenezer Baptist Church (the parish), the tomb of M.L. King and his wife Coretta Scott King, the Eternal Flame, and exhibitions about their lives. On this avenue, you'll also have the opportunity to see “shotgun” houses, a type of house common in the southern United States.

Afterward, the tour will continue past historic churches, businesses, and meeting places that were at the heart of the African-American community and the American Civil Rights Movement.

The tour would not be complete without a visit to the oldest food market in the neighborhood and in Atlanta. There, you will discover traditional African-American (Southern U.S.) ethnic cuisine.
