Paris grew from a small Roman town (Lutetia) on the Île de la Cité; later urban redesigns under Haussmann in the 19th century created the boulevards travelers recognize today.
Conservation
High foot traffic impacts historic stone and narrow lanes; stick to paved paths, support local businesses and avoid littering to reduce your footprint.

Two hours on mostly paved surfaces demands supportive footwear rather than fashion shoes.
Carry a small water bottle
Short stops don't always include cafés, so hydrate between neighborhoods.
Confirm accessibility needs in advance
The operator can adjust routes and meeting points for wheelchair users when notified before the tour.
