Paris Through Time Tour: Years of History

What if you could travel through 2,000 years of Paris without leaving the same neighborhood?

Join a private walking tour through the heart of Paris and discover how a Roman settlement on the Seine became a medieval city, a royal capital, a center of learning, a revolutionary city and finally the modern capital we know today.

This is not simply a tour of monuments. It is a journey through the different lives of Paris.

We begin around the Île de la Cité, where the medieval royal and religious powers shaped the city. From the Sainte-Chapelle and Notre-Dame, we follow the Seine towards the Latin Quarter and discover how Paris became one of Europe's great intellectual centers.

Along the way, we encounter the literary world of Shakespeare and Company, the medieval church of Saint-Séverin and the ancient route of rue Saint-Jacques.

At the Roman baths of Cluny, we travel back almost 2,000 years to Lutetia and discover what life was like in Roman Paris. We then continue to the Sorbonne, the Jardin du Luxembourg and the Panthéon, where the story of Paris takes us from monarchy to Revolution and the birth of the modern French nation.
