How Paris Became Paris: Notre-Dame to the Louvre

About

Discover the story of Paris with Ezrah — a passionate local storyteller who brings the city to life through unforgettable characters, dramatic events, and the stories hidden behind its most famous landmarks. This is more than a walking tour. It's a journey through the people, ambitions, triumphs, and tragedies that shaped one of the world's most iconic cities. From Notre-Dame to the Louvre, uncover the unexpected story of Napoleon and Joséphine, follow the final path of Marie Antoinette, see Notre-Dame through the eyes of Victor Hugo, and discover how centuries of revolution, resilience, and reinvention transformed Paris. With engaging storytelling, local insight, and a touch of humor, you'll leave seeing Paris not as a collection of monuments, but as a living story. **Please note: The €2.99 charged at booking is a platform reservation fee and not payment for the guided tour.**
