Activity itinerary

Place St Michel Bordeaux

5m
Admission ticket not included

Your journey begins at the striking Saint-Michel Fountain, a dramatic sculpture of the Archangel Michael slaying a demon — a powerful symbol of light over darkness. This bustling square in the Latin Quarter is more than a meeting spot; it’s a historic crossroads filled with cafés, bookshops, and lively Parisian energy. Your guide will greet you here with a warm welcome and fascinating introduction to the day ahead. With the Seine nearby and Notre-Dame just around the corner, you’ll already feel Paris unfolding in front of you. It’s where history meets heartbeat — and your adventure begins.

Notre-Dame

Stand before the awe-inspiring Notre-Dame Cathedral, one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in the world. While we won’t enter, your guide will bring the façade to life with stories of flying buttresses, gargoyles, and the tragic fire that changed history. You’ll learn about Victor Hugo’s famous hunchback, secret coronations, and the centuries of mystery etched into its stones. Don’t forget your camera — this stop offers stunning views of the cathedral, the Seine, and Île de la Cité, the birthplace of Paris itself.

Pont des Arts

10m
Admission ticket not included

Stroll across the elegant Pont des Arts, once the home of the “love locks.” This pedestrian bridge offers panoramic views of the Seine, the Louvre, and the islands of central Paris. Your guide will share stories of lovers, poets, and artists who frequented this bridge and the nearby quays. Walking is smooth and flat. It’s a brief but magical pause — perfect for photos, proposals, or just breathing in the Parisian air.

Louvre Museum

15m
Admission ticket not included

Step into the stunning Cour Napoléon and gaze up at the glass pyramid of the Louvre — one of the most recognisable sights in Paris. While this tour does not include entry into the museum, your guide will explain how the Louvre transformed from medieval fortress to royal palace to the world’s largest art museum. Hear tales of royal intrigue, the Mona Lisa’s theft, and the controversial addition of the pyramid. A prime photo stop with great views and historical insight.

The Tuileries Gardens Bookstore

Walk through the elegant Jardin des Tuileries, one of the oldest and most beloved public gardens in Paris. Once the royal playground of Queen Catherine de’ Medici, this space has witnessed revolutions, royal dramas, and artistic inspiration. As you stroll past its formal lawns, fountains, and statues, your guide will share stories of how the garden transformed from royal estate to the people’s park. Surrounded by the Louvre and the Seine, it offers a peaceful moment in the heart of a busy city. This is a favourite resting spot for locals and artists — and a perfect place for quiet photos, reflection, and discovering Paris at a slower pace. With every step, you’ll be walking through centuries of history and beauty.

Place de la Concorde

10m
Admission ticket not included

Stand in the heart of Place de la Concorde, one of Paris’s most majestic — and infamous — squares. Once the site of the guillotine during the French Revolution, it’s where Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette met their fate. Today, it’s home to the ancient Luxor Obelisk, elegant fountains, and sweeping views from the Louvre to the Arc de Triomphe. Your guide will reveal how this elegant space hides a bloody past — a dramatic contrast between history and harmony that defines the Parisian spirit.

Champs-Elysees

30m
Admission ticket not included

This famous avenue is more than a shopping street — it’s a symbol of French pride and pageantry. From military parades to film premieres, the Champs-Élysées has seen it all. Your guide will lead you along a segment of the avenue, pointing out historic cafés, grand theatres, and hidden monuments. This stretch involves a bit more walking (approx. 1 km) but at a comfortable, guided pace with regular stops.

Arc de Triomphe

15m
Admission ticket not included

Arrive at the top of the Champs-Élysées for a fantastic exterior view of the Arc de Triomphe. Your guide will explain Napoleon’s vision behind the monument, the symbolism of the carvings, and the meaning behind the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and its eternal flame. We’ll stay at the edge of the roundabout — safely out of traffic — and won’t be climbing the arch, but you’ll leave with a deep appreciation for this historic structure. Great for wide-angle photos!

Place du Trocadero-et-du-11-Novembre

Follow your guide on a scenic walk along the Right Bank of the Seine, heading towards the Eiffel Tower. Along the way, enjoy charming Parisian streets and beautiful bridges. Your guide will point out lesser-known statues and architecture most tourists miss. This is a relaxing stretch of the tour where you can absorb the city’s rhythm. Total walking distance from the Arc to Trocadéro is approx. 1.2 km and mostly flat.

Trocadero

Your tour ends at the breathtaking Trocadéro Esplanade, offering one of the best views of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Your guide will wrap up the tour with final stories about the Eiffel Tower’s creation, its original criticism, and how it became the ultimate Paris symbol. This is your moment for iconic photos — day or night. From here, you’re steps away from the Eiffel Tower itself or the Trocadéro Metro station (Lines 6 & 9).
