4
Place de la Concorde

After a short walk, we'll stop at the entrance of the Tuileries Gardens to have a look at one of France's most historic squares, the Place de La Concorde. This is where Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette, along with thousands of other people, lost their heads during the French Revolution. But it has more stories to tell than just that, were it only for its famous obelisk that stands at its center!

Duration 15 minutes
5
Jardin des Tuileries

Prepare for an eye-popping walk through one of the City of Light's most lovely gardens, which we owe to the famous Catherine de Medicis. Your guide will take you on a leisurely stroll through the gardens and, though there will be some historical background, it'll especially be an ideal moment to enjoy the gardens at your own pace before getting to the Louvre Museum, its pyramids and, of course, the Tiny Arc de Triomphe or, as it is known to the French, the "Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel".

Duration 25 minutes
6
Louvre Museum

See the outside of the world's most famous museum. Your guide will take time for you to enjoy some amazing stories and fascinating facts about its landmarks (the museum, the pyramids and the tiny arch), before taking some time together to take plenty of pictures!

Duration 20 minutes
Admission Admission Not Included
7
Pont des Arts

The most romantic bridge of Paris will be the end destination of this tour. Of course, you'll learn about its history, but also why it's never really been a good idea to put any love-locks on it, despite the romantic aspect of such a gesture! The view from the bridge is simply breathtaking, and it'll be a great spot for any remaining question you might have, before everyone gets back on their way (rest assured, taxis and metros stops are easy to find from there, and your guide is there to help you out!).

Duration 20 minutes

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
