After a delicious French breakfast awaits us
Morning A photo shoot for every girl (every girl should have a photo from Paris with the Eiffel Tower, do you agree?)
After we are waiting for
Walk through the main sights of Paris with a Russian-speaking guide!
The walk starts at the Opera Garnier — one of the symbols of Paris in the second half of the 19th century. We will talk in detail about the construction of the building and about the people who visited it.
Then we will walk along the Avenue of the Opera, which has become the personification
of the imperial greatness of the capital of France. You will learn to understand the peculiarities of Parisian architecture and learn stories about the inhabitants of different floors.
Along the Avenue of the Opera we will get to the Louvre, where we will remember the French kings who loved art so much that they collected one of the largest collections in the world.
As kings, queens and aristocrats, we will go for a walk in the most luxurious garden of Paris — the Tuileries Garden. Refined manners, conspiracies, gossip, the development of fashion — which just did not happen here!
The New Bridge and the Eiffel Tower
Did you know that Paris was the first city in Europe adapted for long walks? I will show the bridge where this glorious tradition was born, and I will reveal with whose money it was built.
The New Bridge remained the social center of Paris' life until the 19th century, when the Eiffel Tower took over the title of the main city symbol. While you are admiring the view of the city from the bridge, I will tell you about this "first lady of Paris": why the tower has become the most visited in the world and what interesting stories are associated with its construction.
Notre Dame de Paris and the Old Royal Palace
The walk will continue in the Latin Quarter, built around the Sorbonne.
The walk will continue in the Latin Quarter, built around the Sorbonne.
This is a place where the best minds of France have flocked since the to XII century. Walking along its cozy streets, you will look into the narrowest alley of the city, which has preserved its appearance since the Xinth century. Next, I will show the Notre Dame Cathedral of Paris and explain why, in the Middle Ages, pilgrims from distant countries walked to it on foot. You will see the cathedral from several sides, hear about the features of its exterior decoration, the recent fire and restoration projects.
