Rivoluzione americana e francese con il generale Lafayette
Descrizione
Hai visto lo spettacolo Hamilton? Allora, adorerai questo tour! E lo vedrai come una grande aggiunta allo show di Hamilton. Guarda come la storia degli Stati Uniti e la rivoluzione francese si collega a questa affascinante esperienza. Ti porterò dove gli orrori della rivoluzione francese si incontrano con una figura eroica della guerra d'indipendenza americana, tutti profondamente radicati qui a Parigi. In un quartiere familiare, lontano dai luoghi tradizionali, visiterai una baia confidenziale ma con un enorme patrimonio storico.

Itinerario
Inizieremo questo tour in un luogo in cui la ghigliottina, un raccapricciante accessorio della rivoluzione francese, ha preso il suo pedaggio con migliaia di teste mozzate di vittime. Questa sarà l'occasione per imparare e "ravvivare" questo orribile episodio della storia francese noto come "Grand Terror". Alla fine di una breve passeggiata informativa che segue il sanguinoso sentiero della ghigliottina, il Graal sarà il luogo parigino più strano di sempre dove sono ancora sepolte le vittime: una proprietà privata abbastanza grande con un tocco di campagna che ripara un imponente vecchio cimitero con tombe blasonate della ricca nobiltà secolare. Là riposa in pace l'eroico marchese di Lafayette, eroe della guerra d'indipendenza degli Stati Uniti, le cui azioni hanno influenzato il destino dell'America. Tra la stranezza di questo luogo, ti renderai conto di come Francia e americani siano strettamente collegati attraverso il passato reciproco. Più che seguire un corso di storia, vivrai davvero un momento significativo. Stranamente, ne uscirai con un edificante senso di timore reverenziale, beatitudine, tranquillità!

The tour guide was informed and informative! I got to enjoy a small tour and was able to ask a lot of questions and the guide always provided context for the deep answers that were offered! Guide was friendly and went above and beyond expectations!
Thank you so much Arthur for this wonderful review! I loved sharing Paris's history with such an engaged and curious visitor. Your enthusiasm made the experience truly rewarding for me. I hope to welcome you again soon! And as Voltaire said: We must cultivate our garden :-)
Our tour guide Milan was fabulous-- he really knows his stuff! He walked us to various sites related to the French Revolution and thoroughly explained each one, putting all the events into context. We learned about connections between the French Revolution and major events in US history that we were eye-opening. We appreciate his passion for the subject, expert knowledge and choice of venues. Well worth it!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Anna! I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour and found the connections between the French Revolution and US history interesting. It was a pleasure sharing these stories and sites with you. Thanks again for joining me 😀
Exceptional tour! Our US and French Revolution with General Lafayette walking tour with Milan was the best walking tour we’ve ever done. We’re a family with two teenagers, and Milan made the history engaging, informative, and fun. He treated us like old friends and shared behind-the-scenes locations not open to the public, which felt very special and truly privileged. Highly recommended!
This was an exceptional tour! Our US and French Revolution with General Lafayette walking tour with Milan was the best walking tour we’ve ever done. We’re a family with two teenagers, and Milan made the history engaging, informative, and fun. He treated us like old friends and he shared his personal insights and we went to locations not open to the public, which felt very special and truly privileged. Seeing Lafayette's resting place and the mass grave of 1300 people who died as revolutionaries was very moving. Highly recommended!
When I think back on my trip to France, one of my first thoughts is the fantastic tour I took with Milan. I lucked out and had a private tour! I am a big history buff that did my homework before coming to France, and Milan customized the tour and was able to go more in depth than I think you would find on the average tour based on what I asked and what I already knew. His depth of knowledge was impressive. He had an answer (and a corresponding visual in his binder!) for everything. You can tell he is very passionate about history and loves sharing his knowledge with others. There were many other reasons this tour stands out as unique. This felt off the beaten path. I had the opportunity to visit Lafayette's grave. Coincidentally, on another walking tour a few days later, my tour guide asked "does anyone know where the only American flag flying during the German occupation of Paris was?" and of course, thanks to Milan, I knew the answer. The other tour guide said I was the first person in his 10 years of providing tours to know, and that just speaks to all the knowledge Milan was able to impart during our French Revolution tour. In addition, Milan took me to his small farm in the middle of Paris and let me try tomatoes, green beans, and figs! Such a memorable experience. It didn't feel like a scripted tour. It felt like 2 individuals passionate about history talking in depth about little known facts about the Revolution. I learned some SHOCKING facts from Milan. For example, did you know that the guillotine was used in France until 1977?!?! I could go on and on, but in short, I highly recommend for history lovers.
Thank you Kathryn for such a wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure to share that private tour with a fellow history enthusiast like you who came so well-prepared. You did great homework beforehand. And what a blast it must have been! To be able to answer the other guide's question about the American flag. I love it 😍 That moment perfectly captures what I hope these experiences create: connections that stay with you long after the tour ends. Your guide was right; it's a detail most people don't know! Thank you again Kathryn for your beautifully inspired words and recommendation. It truly makes me feel special about my tour. Thanks to you!
Milan gave a very informative tour! I thought it was going to be narrowly focused to Lafayette and the French Revolution, but he provided so much background and context (and fun little stories), that it really was so much more! Highly recommended!
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the tour. Yes, I always believe that understanding the broader context makes history come alive. It was a pleasure sharing it all with you, and I'm so glad you found it worthwhile. Thank you so much for the recommendation!
Outstanding guide...very knowledgeable and gifted at sharing that knowledge. Highly recommend for families interested in history. Our twelve year old was able to appreciate it.
Thank you so much Dayla for the awesome words! I'm delighted to hear that your twelve-year-old enjoyed the experience – sharing history with young, curious minds is always rewarding too. It was a pleasure guiding your family, and I hope you all took home some wonderful memories from Paris!
Amazing does not even begin to describe this tour. Milan is a wealth of knowledge and he is so friendly and sweet! This was a highlight of our vacation for sure. Amazing amazing amazing!
Thanks so much to you Nazo, and to Sako, for your amazing and contagious enthusiasm while being on this tour. It is always rewarding when people are passionnate and receptive. It works both way. Merci beaucoup!
Such a rich and enjoyable education about the French Revolution from an entertaining & knowledgeable guide. Milan was outstanding and we plan to do more tours with him on future trips.
Milan's tour was a highlight of our visit to Paris, an intimate look into the history of the city during two Revolutions. We'll never again look at Paris in the same way. Milan was an extremely well-informed, gracious, engaging and accommodating host, and we're truly grateful for the experience. We look forward to exploring more of the city with him on our next visit.
