Explore Paris under occupation on a small-group walk through Saint-Germain, the Latin Quarter, and the Marais with an expert English-speaking guide.
About this tour
Step into the story of Paris under occupation on a small-group walk capped at six guests. Beginning in June 1940, when the city fell under German occupation without a shot being fired, this Paris WWII Occupation Walking Tour follows the history through three central districts: Saint-Germain, the Latin Quarter, and the Marais.
As you wind through the streets, an expert English-speaking guide brings the era into focus with stories of everyday life, food, education, and entertainment, alongside the resistance, deportations, and the liberation of Paris. The intimate group size makes it easier to follow the narrative and ask questions along the way. Meet your guide in front of the Sèvres Raspail restaurant at 18 rue de Sèvres, 75007 Paris, and look for the Fat Cat Tours sign.
Discover the people and events behind the city’s wartime history on a Paris WWII Occupation Walking Tour, and bring your questions for your guide.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 7 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Paris
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.5. Top 24% in Paris means it ranks in the top 24% of tours in Paris by this score.
