WHAT TO EXPECT

A comprehensive synthesis of all our tours. Not to be missed. Take a relaxed, guided walk through Paris, from Notre-Dame Cathedral and the city’s medieval period, through the neoclassical right bank, the late 19th century and the Paris of today.

This 6-hour tour not only gives you an overview of the city’s architecture, history, and the history of art, it also presents you with an image of the role and importance of Paris throughout European history.
