Tour description

Join us on a journey through the elegance of Paris, where you'll have the chance to witness some of the most iconic and breathtaking locations in the City of Light. Paris's beauty and
monumentality are truly impressive, and we'll delve into its past during the 19th century, a time of great transformation both socially and architecturally.

On this tour, we'll visit some noteworthy sites like largest square in Paris, La Concorde, which holds the oldest monument in the city and one of the most stunning, the Obelisk of Luxor, from ancient Egypt. This spot, marked by the blood of the French Revolution, was renamed "Concorde" in the 19th century to symbolize peace and harmony. Next, we'll stroll along the Champs-Élysées, one of the most fashionable and prestigious addresses in Paris during the 19th century. It's also the site of military parades, including the largest military parade in Europe, held every year on Bastille Day. Along this avenue, we'll admire many grand buildings, including the Grand Palais and Petit Palais, built for the Universal Exhibition of 1900, which are among the architectural jewels of Paris. Our tour will then lead us to the history of The Invalides, originally built as a hospital for wounded soldiers, which became a significant symbol of French military power in the 19th century. Today, it houses Napoleon's tomb, and its impressive gold dome makes it one of the
most beautiful monuments in Paris. Finally, we'll conclude our tour at Pont del Alma, where we'll witness the illuminated Eiffel Tower, the most iconic monument in the city. Built in 1889, this 300-meter-high tower has become a symbol of Paris, and we'll uncover its rich history during our tour.
