Overview

WHAT TO EXPECT

Take a 2-hour guided walk in Paris to experience the results of the famous Haussmannian intervention, which was the largest urban planning feat ever undertaken in the city.

In the 19th century the whole city, with the exception of 2 neighborhoods, was flattened and built anew. The plan was designed to create the best planned, the most functional, and above all, the most beautiful city in the world. The program, however, took its toll on many precious buildings and streets that have been forever lost.

During the Haussmannian Paris tour you’ll learn about this massive effort and visit the top examples of the style that was undoubtedly excessive and yet an incredibly unified one.

After you have taken this tour, you’ll never see the city of Paris in the same way again!
