Interesting WW2 walking tour in Paris

S_N, Jul 2026

We booked this WW2 walking tour for a Wednesday morning and there were about 8 people in total on our tour. Tour was an independent guide (1533 walks - historic Paris tours) via Viator. Margaux, our tour guide, was friendly and well organised. She messaged us the day prior with all the relevant information and we found the meeting point easily. Please note, the start and end point are different, but well documented in the message. The tour commenced at 1030am and finished just before 1pm. Margaux led us around various places connected with WW2. She gave a well balanced account of the occupation, the collaboration and the resistance. She also had a tablet with her to show us photos and maps etc from the time which was really useful to aid our understanding. Margaux was happy to answer any additional questions we had and looked after us all well. We would thoroughly recommend Margaux and this tour to anyone interested to learn more about this era in Paris.

Great tour!

This is an excellent tour for those interested in WWII, the French Resistance and the liberation of Paris. Margaux is a delightful tour guide and history lover, and provided us with lots of interesting facts. The two hour walking tour went very fast. I highly recommend this tour.

Great tour if you’re interested in World War ll Paris.

Highly recommend this tour if you’re interested in World War II France, specifically, Paris, including Nazi takeover, what it was like living in Paris during that time and the Resistance. Our tour guide Marguax was very knowledgeable. I especially enjoyed seeing the old photos as we stood in front of the same buildings today as she explained the history and importance of them. I appreciate that she kept us well informed of the meeting time and place.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you! Walking through the same streets, standing in the same spots, there's nothing quite like it to make history feel real. So glad it resonated. Hope you'll be back in Paris soon!

Amazing tour
