Amerikaanse en Franse revolutie met generaal Lafayette
Beschrijving
Heb je de show Hamilton gezien? Dan zal je deze tour geweldig vinden! En je zult het zien als een geweldige toevoeging aan de Hamilton-show. Ontdek hoe de Amerikaanse geschiedenis en de Franse revolutie zich verbinden met deze fascinerende ervaring. Ik zal je meenemen naar waar de gruwelen van de Franse revolutie samenkomen met een heldhaftig figuur van de Amerikaanse onafhankelijkheidsoorlog, allemaal diep geworteld hier in Parijs. In een huiselijke buurt, weg van de reguliere plaatsen, bezoekt u een vertrouwelijke baai met een enorm historisch erfgoed.

Reisroute
We beginnen deze tour op een plek waar de guillotine, een gruwelijke accessoire van de Franse revolutie, zijn tol eiste met de afgehakte hoofden van duizenden slachtoffers. Dit is de gelegenheid om deze afschuwelijke aflevering van de Franse geschiedenis te leren kennen en te 'herleven', bekend als 'Grand Terror'. Aan het einde van een korte informatieve wandeling langs het bloederige parcours van de guillotine, zal de Graal de meest angstaanjagende Parijse plek ooit zijn waar de slachtoffers nog steeds begraven zijn: een redelijk groot privélandgoed met een landelijke touch dat een indrukwekkende oude begraafplaats met versierde graven herbergt van de rijke eeuwenoude adel. Daar rust vredig de heldhaftige markies van Lafayette, held van de Amerikaanse Onafhankelijkheidsoorlog, wiens daden de bestemming van Amerika hebben beïnvloed. Temidden van de griezeligheid van deze plek, zul je je realiseren hoe Frans en Amerikanen nauw verbonden zijn door elkaars verleden. Meer dan het volgen van een geschiedeniscursus, zult u echt een betekenisvol moment ervaren. Vreemd genoeg kom je er met een opbeurend gevoel van ontzag, gelukzaligheid en vredigheid uit!

My father, son and I went on the walking tour of the French and American Revolutions with Gen. Lafayette with Milan Melet as our guide. I have been on many walking tours of Paris covering various topics and this one was a highlight. It is off the normal tourist path and arrondissements that are the go-to -- and that's what makes it unique. No one else is doing this tour. It's not a lot of walking, but there is much to see and learn -- with the highlight being the cemetery and church at the end. I'd highly recommend it, particularly to history buffs.
Thank you for this wonderful review! I'm delighted that you, your father, and your son enjoyed the French and American Revolutions tour. It's always rewarding to share this unique slice of history with visitors who appreciate its depth. I'm glad I could introduce you to a side of Paris that goes beyond the typical tourist path. I hope to welcome you back on your next visit to Paris!
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.
