Itinerary
Paris
Step into revolutionary Paris on this 2 hours walking tour that traces the dramatic events of 1789 and beyond. From the symbolic storming of the Bastille to the guillotine at Place de la Concorde, discover the city that became the stage of history. Stand before the Hôtel de Ville, where Robespierre’s fate was sealed, and walk through the Conciergerie, once the prison of Marie-Antoinette and other figures of the Revolution. Learn how the Hôtel des Invalides armed the people, and how the massacre at the Champ de Mars divided revolutionaries. End at the Place de la Concorde, where kings, queens, and thousands met their fate under the guillotine. Along the way, uncover the ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity—and the violence, betrayals, and passions that reshaped France. With expert storytelling, this tour brings to life the struggles and hopes that forged modern democracy.
