About this experience
In just two and a half hours, we will see several major Parisian attractions and take one of the classic routes through the city center. We will see the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, stroll along the Seine, and relax in one of the most beautiful gardens in Paris - the Tuileries Gardens.
Our sightseeing tour will cover almost the entire city center. You will have the opportunity to understand on your own what the 'historical axis of Paris' is and get acquainted with the main must-see sights of the French capital. I will not only tell you about the buildings we see in front of us, but also about the great figures of the past and present who have honored them with their attention. In addition, the route is designed so that we start at the building of one world-famous opera and finish at another. Comparing them will be very interesting!
We will walk on foot from one of the symbols of the Second Empire to the ultra-modern theater, which is only 25 years old. As a memory of our walk, I will take several beautiful photos for you!
Route
We will meet at one of the busiest Parisian intersections, namely on the steps of the 'big cake' - the famous Opera Garnier, just like real Parisians do.
I will show you the world-famous cafe, where Tchaikovsky, Zola, and Maupassant loved to visit. Today, in the cafe, you can meet not only world celebrities, but also dancers from the Paris Opera. By the way, the cafe and the Opera were designed by the same architect - Charles Garnier.
You will see the house where Chopin died, a cozy cafe that serves the best hot chocolate in Paris, and learn what the term 'Parisian royal perspective' means.
We will walk along one of the most luxurious and fashionable streets of the French capital to end up on the most fashionable square in Paris. We will see the famous 'Ritz' hotel of Egyptian billionaire Al-Fayed, where Princess Diana spent her last days.
Next, we will take a walk through the oldest Tuileries Gardens, admire the famous ponds, and take photos with a panoramic view of the Concorde Square.
Next, we will see one of the richest museums in the world - the Louvre and its pyramid. We will walk along the romantic Seine embankment, which has inspired artists and writers for centuries, wave to passing boats while standing on the oldest bridge in Paris.
We will see the bird market, second-hand booksellers, the city hall, and finally reach the second Paris Opera - the Opera Bastille, which is considered one of the most modern opera houses in Europe. I will tell you why its construction caused so much controversy and why the state recently sued the contractors.
