Why we recommend it
"This tour completely goes off the beaten path and that's exactly what we love! Rather than doing yet another classic monument tour, this passionate guide plunges you into Paris' ancient history with a totally refreshing angle. The parallels he draws with our current era are mind-blowing, and you finally understand where some of our traditions come from. Perfect for curious minds who want to discover another face of Paris."

The experience
We all know Napoleon and the Revolution, but Paris hides much older stories! This unique walk takes you on the trail of the great figures who shaped our world: Julius Caesar conquering Gaul, Clovis founding France, Charlemagne building an empire...
Your passionate guide tells these epic tales that still resonate today: how Christianity spread, why our holidays exist, where our language comes from. These stories inspired Tolkien, Game of Thrones, and explain much about our era.
A captivating exploration that transforms your view of Paris and reveals that our history begins long before 1789!
