Itinerary
1. Paris’ City Hall stands as a witness to revolutions, fires, and rebirth.
2. A peaceful place of memory, dedicated to the resilience of Paris after the 2015 attacks. Here, we talk about modern Paris. Its spirit, its cafés, and the way life always returns to the streets.
3. Hidden between modern façades, these curved medieval houses remind us that Paris was once a small village.
4. A powerful stop that connects medieval Paris to the stories of the 20th century and today’s living neighbourhood.
5. One of the most impressive medieval buildings in Paris, still marked by a real cannonball stuck in its wall
6. A true slice of local life. We’ll see Parisians playing pétanque and if they are not here, we'll play ourselves!
7. A small village within the city, where quiet streets, historic churches, and local cafés show a softer, more intimate side of Paris.
8. Fragments of the medieval wall built by King Philippe Auguste reveal how Paris grew from a fortified town into a global capital.
9. Step into a hidden Renaissance courtyard.. a secret passage that feels frozen in time. My mother’s favorite shortcut
10. Our grand finale: the oldest planned royal square in Paris, created under the reign of Henry IV.
11. We finish the tour in front of Victor Hugo’s house, after beginning it at Notre-Dame — the setting of his most famous novel.
