Paris abounds in unexpected places! Far from traditional places, there are more confidential places in welcoming and yet less visited neighborhoods with surprisingly enormous historical content. This ** small-group activity ** is perfect if you're looking for an unexpected experience.
The guillotine, that horrible prop from a major episode of the French Revolution, the Great Terror, did not play its squeaky music only on the Place de la Concorde. Its blade has raged in other districts of Paris. This is where we will start. You will follow its bloody trail to one of the oddest places in Paris where French and American history meet, thanks to the Marquis de La Fayette, heroic figure of the American War of Independence.
In this most unlikely place, you will feel how much we are so close connected to our common past. More than a history lesson, you will truly live a rewarding experience. Oddly enough, you will come away with an awe-inspiring sense of wonder and peace!
