Overview

Explore the vibrant, cultural and beautiful Parisian neighbourhood of Le Marais on this private tour focussing on the French Revolutions that would change the face and future of France forever. Learn about the social and political unrest that led to the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789 and see what little remains of this famous prison. Hear about the fall of the Ancien Régime with the executions of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette by Guillotine, and what happened next. Enjoy walking around the elegant Place des Vosges, home of Victor Hugo, whose epic work, Les Misérables, echoes down the centuries, and see a church, the largest in Le Marais that was used by soldiers during the Commune of 1871.

Your expert guide will also show you hidden remains of history - such as a cannonball stuck in a wall, and Republican graffiti inside a church.

Bring the Revolutions of France to life on this walking tour of where it all happened.
