Classic Treasures & Hidden Gems of Paris

Overview of the tour in Paris

Discover the heart of Paris with a unique small-group walking tour that blends iconic landmarks with lesser-known hidden gems. Unlike typical tours, this experience is led by local Parisian guides, not expats, giving you an insider’s view of the city, its history, and its culture.

- The Palais Royal, a historic hotspot of the French Revolution, and the eccentric royal who helped ignite it.
- The Louvre’s fascinating history: who built it, and why Louis XIV moved out.
- Paris’ original Arc de Triomphe and why Napoleon wasn't impressed with it.
- The stone-built Gare d’Orsay, now the famous Orsay Museum.

Hidden gems include:
- The home of France’s “Immortals,” an elite literary academy.
