About this experience
Paris is famous for its landmarks that we often see on postcards or in guidebooks, and sometimes we feel like we already know a lot about the city. But I want to show you the treasures of the capital of France from a completely new perspective! Let's uncover the secrets hidden in the streets, palaces, and monuments of Paris together!
What to expect
During our fascinating route through the center of Paris, I will tell you:
- how the Louvre transformed from a medieval fortress into a royal palace, why Catherine de Medici did not want to live in the Tuileries Palace, and where it disappeared to;
- what messages the Louvre stores, and what is encrypted on the facade of Notre Dame de Paris;
- what makes the monument on the New Bridge interesting, and what secrets the narrowest street in Paris holds;
- where in Paris a tree over 400 years old still stands, and what revolutionary stigmas are preserved in Parisian houses;
- how the grand axis of Paris was created and what is remarkable about the Elysée Palace;
- how the British anthem is connected to France, what the Concorde Bridge was made of, and more;
- why the Sainte-Chapelle chapel was built, where the coat of arms of Paris came from, and the meaning of the royal lily symbol.
And of course, I will gladly share with you historical anecdotes and interesting facts about France and its inhabitants that you won't find in traditional guidebooks.
I never part with my camera, and as a memento of our stroll, you will receive a set of photos as a gift.
Returning home, you will bring not only beautiful photos and souvenirs, but also a part of Parisian secrets that you can share... or keep secret.
