Overview

Thanks to your tour guide, who will accompany you on this unusual visit, you will explore the UNESCO House (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), whose unique architecture gives all its character to this remarkable space located in the heart of Paris.

While explaining the missions, projects and impact of the specialized agency of the UN (the United Nations), your guide will take you to discover the incredible spaces of the UNESCO headquarters: its immense conference rooms, hosts of major international events, the square where you will admire the famous symbolic Globe, or its concrete walkways and corridors, characteristic of modern architecture.

A collection of works of art by the greatest artists of the 20th century will punctuate the course of your guided tour. The works of Calder, Picasso and Giacometti will be commented on by your tour guide.
