About this tour
This two-hour walking tour traces Paris's revolutionary upheaval through its most recognisable landmarks. Starting at the Assemblée Nationale and finishing near the Opéra Garnier, you'll move between the Place de la Concorde, Eiffel Tower, and other pivotal sites with a knowledgeable local guide. Small groups of up to eight mean genuine conversation rather than crowds. Learn how successive revolutions rewrote the city's streets, monuments, and very identity, and why that history still matters to Parisians today.
