Overview

Follow the steps of major figures of the French revolution and understand the event that shaped France as the country you know today. Discover the origin of the French flag and anthem-the famous "Marseillaise," learn more about Marie-Antoinette and way more!

Walk through the former "revolutionary" neighborhood, today's Saint-Germain-des-Prés, and up to the City's Island where major events of the revolution took place. Your expert local guide will tell you about the leaders and their motivations, but also about how they turned against each other, and about the royal family's response. What led French people to behead their king and queen and proclaim the first Republic? As you walk in the narrow cobbled streets, you will understand better today's political system and values in France while discovering some hidden gems on your way... this tour will captivate adults and children alike!
