Top Paris How to Get Around - page 119

Versailles at your own pace, with a private vehicle only for your group, door to door. You choose the departure time, between 07:00 and 12:00. Early you enter with the first strips and tour the Gallery of Mirrors before it fills; at noon you arrive in time to add the Trianon and the Queen's Village, which open at 12:00. We pick you up at your accommodation in Paris and drop you off at the entrance to the Palace. The return time is agreed by you: the driver waits at that time at the same point and takes you back to your accommodation. No coach and no outside group. Your entrance to the Palace is included: we buy your ticket and reserve your slot (under 18s enter free, with reservation included). Inside the Palace the tour is self-guided with the official audio guide, available in Spanish and in more than 10 languages. We coordinate everything by WhatsApp before the service.

Between June 1940 and August 1944, Paris lived under Nazi occupation. This walking tour retraces that story where it happened, from the fall of the city to its liberation. Meet at 11 Rue des Saussaies, former Gestapo headquarters, where prisoners' carved inscriptions still survive. Walk to Place de la Concorde, site of the 1940 German parade and bullet scars from 1944, facing the Hôtel de Crillon, requisitioned from day one of the Occupation. At Place Vendôme, hear how Göring settled into the Ritz amid looted art, alongside Coco Chanel. On Rue de Rivoli, stop at Hôtel Le Meurice, where General von Choltitz defied Hitler's order to burn Paris. Pass the Louvre, emptied of its masterpieces before the invasion, where curator Rose Valland secretly tracked the looting of Jewish-owned art. Your guide shows archival photos of each spot as it looked in 1940–44. The tour ends at the Préfecture de Police, birthplace of the 19 August 1944 uprising, near the scarred Saint-Michel fountain.

Instead of simply sampling products, we step inside the world of local artisans who shape the neighborhood’s culinary identity every day. What You’ll Experience: Meet passionate cheesemongers, bakers, and chocolatiers Visit independent, family-run food shops hidden in the Marais streets Learn how traditional Parisian products are made, from recipe to counter Hear personal stories behind long-standing family businesses Discover exclusive local recommendations directly from producers Why This Experience Stands Out This is the Marais beyond the storefront — a cultural and human experience where food becomes a gateway into history, tradition, and everyday Parisian life. Rather than a typical food tour, it feels like being introduced to the neighborhood by the people who have shaped it for generations.

The 13th arrondissement is one of the world's great open-air street art museums, born from the Boulevard Paris 13 project launched in 2009. This self-guided audio walking tour takes you to 18 large-scale murals by internationally renowned artists including Shepard Fairey (Obey), C215, D*Face, Pantonio and Okuda, along a flat, easy 5 km route. After booking, you receive a digital guide with 21 audio tracks. The first tracks give you the global history of street art and its story in France; each stop then has its own commentary explaining the artist and the work in front of you. Along the way you'll also spot hundreds of smaller signed works scattered through the neighborhood. The walk covers about 5 km and takes around 3 hours at your own pace.
