Meet at Place Kléber
The tour starts in front of the Starbucks at Place Kléber — arrive 10 minutes early to orient and confirm your guide via WhatsApp.
Bring supportive shoes
Cobblestones and narrow lanes are charming but uneven; low‑profile, grippy footwear reduces fatigue and slips.
Carry a refillable bottle
Short walk with café options, but water refills save money and plastic while keeping you comfortable.
Plan around peak times
If visiting during the Christmas market or midday, expect heavier foot traffic; early morning or late afternoon yields quieter streets.
Supportive walking shoes
Protect ankles and provide traction on cobbles and wet surfaces.
Light rain jacket
Spring showers and sudden drizzle are common; a compact shell keeps you dry without overheating.
