Paris French Revolution Walking Tour 2 hr 30 min

Explore the streets of the Marais through the upheavals that reshaped France. This private Paris French Revolution walking tour begins with the economic and political tensions dividing the clergy, nobility, and bourgeoisie before following the fall of Louis XVI and the dismantling of the Ancien Régime. With a professional guide, connect the story to the places where it unfolded, including remnants associated with the storming of the Bastille and the conflicts that followed the abolition of feudalism.

Along the way, pause at the graceful Place des Vosges, see a mansion that became a prison during the Terror, and walk through streets where Paris’s Jewish community settled under religious freedoms granted by the Republican Convention. Keep an eye out for smaller traces of the past, from a medieval cannonball lodged in a building to Republican graffiti inside a church. There is time to take photos as you explore with your private group.

Meet your guide in front of the Banque de France at Place de la Bastille. Choose this Paris French Revolution walking tour for a vivid, place-by-place look at the history written into the Marais.
