Historical Central Paris + Invalides & Tour Eiffel

Highlights

Guided tour of the historical Heart of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower and The Invalides


Description

Once you have met your local guide near the Comédie Française, you will be taken on walking tour of Paris’s must-see monuments, starting with Japanese architect I.M.Pei’s iconic Pyramid, commissioned by President François Mitterand, a construction which initially caused controversy is principally made of panes of glass, it serves as the main entrance to the Louvre Museum.

You will be taken over Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris, taking you by the Ile de la Cité, here are located several monuments of great historical importance. We can pass by Place Dauphine the second oldest public square/park in Paris, behind Place Royale, and then come across such beautiful buildings as the St Chapelle and Conciergerie. The Conciergerie, known morbidly as the last residence of Marie-Antoinette, where she was imprisoned for the last few months of her life before being guillotined. Your guide will then take you past the Sainte Chapelle, a 13th century Royal Chapel, with its magnificent stained-glass windows, so precious to the French patrimony that they were removed for protection during the second World War.

Continuing to Notre Dame, spending time having a coffee break and taking in the atmosphere of one of the most famous landmarks anywhere in the world, you will then take the metro to Hotel les Invalides, which as the name suggests was once a hospice. This military hospital is the home to Napoleon’s tomb, your guide will show you the Courtyard of Honora and The Soldiers’ Church. Your tour will finish by passing by the Ecole Militaire (Military Academy) and with a view of the Eiffel Tower

Your tour will finish at the Eiffel Tower, where you can decide to continue admiring the most iconic structure in Paris or move on to somewhere else, the possibilities are endless.
