Private Audio Guided Walking Tour in Paris

Itinerary

1. This Tower clearly doesn't need any presentations, and I'm sure you already know quite well that it is one of the most famous buildings in the world! Overly imitated and admired, it is unmistakable as well as bound to the name of its designer; you can see it rise high in the north-western end of the ancient military parade grounds, Champ de Mars. You can reach it by any means, even in "bateau-mouche", given its proximity to the Seine at Pont d'Iéna.

2. The Champs-Élysées is legendary location in the beautiful city of Paris! Commonly referred to by the Parisians as “Les Champs”, it has always been a symbol of the “grandeur” of France in general, and Paris in particular. Over the centuries this broad, tree-lined avenue has been extended and the number of monuments along it has increased in number; it is now about 2 kilometres in length, extending from Place de la Concorde to Place Charles de Gaulle.

3. The cathedral is an exemplary model of the Gothic style, boasting extraordinary coherence of style and perfect harmony, although as I mentioned earlier, it took almost two centuries to complete. As you can see, much of its charm is down to the light stone, which brightens up the whole edifice. Note also the ingenious structural details such as the flying buttresses, which not only make the building look taller and lighter, but also contribute enormously to its magnificence, especially at the rear.

4. Immersed in an incomparable park, you're about to visit the palace of all palaces, the symbol of the Sun King's policy of cultural absolutism: a spectacular residence that was envied and admired by monarchs around the world.

   Passes by

5. Montmartre is one of the most beautiful places in Paris! Here you can take in the Bohemian atmosphere by strolling through the steep, narrow streets of the Butte, the French name for this hill.

   Passes by

6. The monumental square you now stand in has one of the oldest monuments in Paris: I'm talking about the famous Luxor Obelisk from Egypt that dates back to more than three thousand years ago. It is a marvelous work of art in pink granite that was donated by the Viceroy Mohammed Alì to King Louis Philippe in the mid-1800s. The hieroglyphs you see engraved on it recall the kingdom of Pharaoh Ramses III.

About Paris

Paris pairs grand boulevards and riverside monuments with café terraces, art collections of global stature and neighbourhoods that feel like villages.

The Seine runs through the heart of the city, past the Île de la Cité with Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle, the long façade of the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay in its former railway station. Downriver, the Eiffel Tower rises over the Champ de Mars, and the Arc de Triomphe crowns the Champs-Élysées.
