Paris walking tours - Discover Paris with an experienced guide

From 1880-1914, artists like Renoir, Picasso & Degas flocked to Montmartre to live and paint. We'll walk in their footsteps through the backstreets of this picturesque "village within Paris". Discover Montmartre's two remaining windmills (there were once 32!), tour the lovely Musee de Montmartre, dine in a turn-of-the-century restaurant in the artists' square (Place du Tertre), and see the amazing views of Paris from Sacre Coeur church.

Mansions of the Marais walking tour

One of Paris' most colorful districts is also one of its oldest, packed with history, culture and beautiful 17th-18th century "hôtel particuliers" (private mansions). Visit the Place des Vosges, (right) one of Europe's most beautiful public squares. Have tea at famous Mariage Frères, visit the Picasso Museum, explore the Jewish quarter on the rue des Rosiers, and browse in the district's chic shops and galleries.

Cité and St. Louis - explore the lovely Isle de la Cité, site of the Roman city of Lutèce, which later became Paris. Visit the Conciergerie and Sainte Chapelle, the jewel-like chapel known for its incredible stained glass windows. On to Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Square du Vert Gallant and Holocaust Memorial that sit just behind the famous cathedral. Crossing a small bridge, you'll arrive on the Isle St. Louis with its many 17th and 18th century mansions. Stroll through the island's charming streets, peek into its galleries, or visit the Berthillon ice cream shop, the best in Paris.
