    Itinerary

    • We open the walk on Place Vendôme, the square that has long symbolized Parisian luxury. Its Vendôme Column stands at the center, surrounded by jewellers, haute couture houses, and the elegant façades of the former royal square. It is a polished, quiet start that sets the tone for the rest of the route.

    Tour Details

    Full Description

    Paris reveals itself best on foot, and our Paris City Highlights walking tour follows the city’s elegance and history at the easy pace of a small group. Together with top-rated local guides, we trace the Right Bank from its royal squares to the banks of the Seine, and finish with the Eiffel Tower rising over the skyline.

    We begin at Place Vendôme, the square that has long defined Parisian luxury, then continue to the neoclassical façade of La Madeleine, where architecture, art, and history meet in the heart of the city. From there, the walk opens onto the vast Place de la Concorde, a crossing point of royal, revolutionary, and modern Paris.

    Strolling along the Seine, our guide brings the political and cultural significance of the Assemblée nationale to life. The route then moves into the lively shopping district around Galeries Lafayette and Boulevard Haussmann, where grand façades and busy streets show how Paris was reshaped in the 19th century.

    The walk continues across the ornate Pont Alexandre III, whose gilded statues frame sweeping views of the river, and on to the Pont de l’Alma, another favorite vantage point along the Seine. We finish with the Eiffel Tower in full view, the perfect closing note to a three-hour introduction to Paris.

    The route is designed for guests who want an informative, friendly, and inspiring first encounter with Paris, with time for stories, photographs, and the details that larger groups usually walk past.
