What to expect
Expect a steady-paced walk covering central Paris's most recognisable landmarks without rushing through them. Your guide points out what makes each spot tick—the geometry of Place de la Concorde, the park's original purpose, how tourists and Parisians move through these spaces differently. You'll ride the metro once, getting a feel for how locals navigate the city. This isn't a museum tour; you're absorbing geography and context so you can wander confidently on your own afterwards.
Good to know
