About this experience
Exploring a treasure like Paris portion by portion, dividing it into parts, means discovering much more beauty and details that may escape you on a big city-wide tour. Together, we will explore the Right Bank of the Seine, admire its grand symbols, and find unexpected places unknown to tourists.
What to Expect
Symbols of the Right Bank
This part of Paris is rich in legendary landmarks you've surely heard of, and maybe even seen before. That's why the Right Bank is where the 'elite' acquire housing - who wouldn't want to live near the Louvre and take a leisurely walk in the Tuileries Garden? In addition to the mentioned symbols, you will be amazed by the grandeur of the Palais Royal, explore one of the last gothic-style churches Saint-Eustache, walk around the quirky Pompidou Centre, understand why the Marais Jewish quarter was favored by aristocrats and trendsetters, find yourself on the oldest square in Paris, and delight your eyes with many other architectural creations. By the way, the leitmotif of our journey will be Philip Augustus' city wall: in some places, you will be looking for its fragments - I will tell you more about its significance for the city.
All About: Life in Paris in the Middle Ages and Now - and Other Curiosities
How does the Right Bank fundamentally differ from the Left Bank? Who chose to live here in the Middle Ages? How many districts are there? Is it prestigious to live on the Right Bank of the Seine now? I will captivate you with curious facts about this part of Paris, tell you how the whole city lived in the Middle Ages - about customs, fashion, history - and share modern realities in contrast. As a local resident, I will give valuable tips on where to stroll without tourist crowds, where to have lunch without breaking the bank, and what in the outskirts of Paris might catch your attention.
