Begin your small-group walking tour of Paris by meeting your guide and small group in front of the entrance to the Cité metro station (line 4). From here, you'll travel on foot to Notre Dame, where you'll catch glimpses of the 800-year-old Gothic structure and learn about its history.
Continue over the Pont Neuf, the city's oldest bridge, and into the Tuileries Gardens to see the expanse of carefully manicured greenery. Next, visit the Place de la Concorde, former home of the famous guillotine, and listen to your guide talk about some of the city's most famous and infamous residents such as Henri IV, Louis XIV, and Napoleon. You'll also get a chance to see other Paris landmarks such as the Louvre and the Saint Michel Fountain.
Your small group is limited to just eight people, which ensures an intimate atmosphere and plenty of opportunities to ask questions of your guide. A moderate amount of walking is involved and the tour runs in all weather conditions, so please dress appropriately.

The Conciergerie is the oldest remaining part of the Palais de la Cité, as well as at a time the most notorious prison in all of France. Over a thousand “enemies of the Revolution” were housed there, and famous figures like Marie Antoinette ended their lives there.
