About this tour
Explore the 7th arrondissement beyond the Iron Lady on this 3-hour private walking tour. You'll wander through Paris' most refined neighbourhood, stopping at Musée Rodin to encounter Rodin's masterworks up close, then move through quieter corners where Napoleon rests at Les Invalides. Cheese and pastry tastings punctuate the route, and views of the Eiffel Tower from Champ de Mars anchor the experience. Your guide reveals the district's layered history and architectural grandeur.

What to expect
Your guide meets you and sets a measured pace through tree-lined streets, stopping first at Musée Rodin's gardens and galleries where you'll spend time with bronze and marble pieces in their intended setting. From there, you'll drift towards Les Invalides, the vast military complex where you'll see Napoleon's crypt and learn the district's strategic importance. Tastings happen at carefully chosen spots—a fromagerie, a pâtisserie—allowing you to sit briefly and absorb the neighbourhood's rhythm. The route circles back towards Champ de Mars, where the Eiffel Tower dominates the skyline. Expect a genuine neighbourhood walk, not a highlight reel.
