Description
Discover the essence of Paris on this immersive and informative walking tour through its most iconic streets and monuments. Start near the Institut de France, founded in the 17th century to promote science, arts, and literature. Cross the elegant Pont Neuf — the oldest standing bridge in Paris, completed in 1607 under King Henry IV — to admire the Île de la Cité and the picturesque Seine riverbanks, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Pass through the Cour Napoléon and marvel at the Louvre, once a medieval fortress before becoming the royal palace and later the world’s most visited museum. Continue past the Comédie-Française Theatre, founded in 1680, and explore how Paris evolved from royal grandeur to the vibrant cultural capital of the world. Stroll through Place Colette, the elegant Palais-Royal, and Rue Saint-Honoré, and hear stories of artists, writers, and revolutionaries — from Molière to Colette — who changed the face of French history. Along the way, stop by the gilded statue of Joan of Arc at Place des Pyramides and the Church of Saint-Roch, built in the 17th century and famous for its Baroque interior and the tombs of many French artists. The walk culminates at the Place Vendôme, a masterpiece of classical architecture commissioned by Louis XIV, before reaching the Tuileries Gardens and the Place de la Concorde, where history, art, and beauty intertwine — from royal ceremonies to the echoes of the French Revolution.Includes
