About this experience
I will try to convey to you the spirit and atmosphere of the city, share what I feel and know about Paris, and show you corners where you are unlikely to wander on your own - for example, a flowering park with the best view of Notre-Dame and a medieval house-library. This walk will reveal to you the special charm of Paris and the secrets of its central streets, introduce you to famous landmarks, and, of course, the gem of the capital - the Cathedral of Our Lady of Paris.
What to expect
The charm of Paris and its iconic corners
We will walk through the historic center of the city, along the Seine river embankment and the most beautiful squares, talk about the rich history of the capital. You will visit:
- On Place Vendome, where the most luxurious and expensive shops are located, including the Chanel boutique.
- In the inner courtyard of Palais Royal - a royal palace, the history of which you will learn.
- On Place de la Concorde, where the French king Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette were beheaded.
- Near the Louvre and its ancient part - the square courtyard.
- By the French Comedy Theater, founded by and where Moliere played.
- By the amazing church of Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois, connected to the patroness of Paris, Genevieve.
- On the Bridge of Arts with lover's padlocks and on the New Bridge, which is actually the oldest in the city.
- By the symbolic Fountain of Saint Michael, in the magnificent Tuileries Garden and Viviani Garden, where you will admire Notre-Dame from an unexpected angle.
- And by Notre-Dame itself: you will examine the cathedral facade, learn about the legends associated with it, and hear about the reconstruction plans.
- And we will conclude the walk in a medieval house-library, where every English-speaking writer strives to present their books to the residents of Paris.
