You step out of the Louvre-Rivoli metro into a corridor of stone and history: tourists arranging maps, café steam, and the glass pyramid catching a pale Paris light. Your guide sketches the route—the Tuileries’ clipped trees, Place de la Concorde’s obelisk, the golden arches of Alexandre III, a quick sweep down the Champs-Élysées and a final arrival at the Trocadéro or under the Eiffel Tower—each stop a pulse in the city.
