Full Description of the Private Walking Tour Paris' Highlights
Starting at the historic Place des Vosges, originally Place Royale, it is the oldest planned square in Paris. Located in the Marais Quarter, you will walk along the rue des Rosiers, a major center of the Paris Jewish community where you can find public notices, specialised book-stores, numerous good restaurants and delis selling kosher food. Following its rehabilitation, the Marais has become a fashionable district, home to many trendy restaurants, fashion houses, and hip galleries.

Continue to Saint Germain Des Pres, the "intellectual" neighborhood of Paris. Long time the aristocratic district of Paris, then following the city's liberation, the district became popular for its nightlife and jazz clubs, with artists and intellectuals such as Sidney Bechet, Boris Vian, Juliette Gréco and Sartre adding their own dynamism.
After reaching the Quais de Seine, you will be able to see the famous Notre Dame Cathedral and Ile Saint Louis, before moving towards the Louvre's museum plaza, mounted by it's majestic glass pyramid and the refined Tuileries gardens. A bit further down the bank of the Seine is the Place Vendome, a mecca of money and luxury. The Place Vendôme provides a base for renowned and prestigious establishments: the Ritz hotel, Cartier, Rolex, Chanel jewelry, as well as the Ministry of Justice; and in its centre the celebrated Column of Vendôme sits enthroned.
Moreover, you will then get a glimpse from afar at the building of The Invalides, King Louis XIV ordered it in recognition of the sacrifices made by the soldiers who fought in his wars. It is also Napoleon's last resting place. You will finally reach the Eiffel Tower, where your tour will end, not before a short speech of your guide about the marvels of the Grande Dame de Paris, the main landmark of the city of lights.

Our Local expert tips
Market: Marché des Enfants Rouges
During your sightseeing tour in Paris, think about stopping at the oldest covered market in Paris "Marché des Enfants Rouges". Stroll around its colorful hallways full of organic local products as well as a variety of food stands like Italian, Lebanese or Japanese. It's a great place to find good cheese, wine and charcuterie! Le Marché des Enfants Rouges
Restaurant: Au Bascou
Renaud Marcille (formerly of Lucas Carton) works today at the head of this bistro, a true Parisian institution. Here, the cuisine sings with the warm accents of the Basque land, but not only. If many products come from the "country" (piperades, squid, fricassee of snails), we do not refrain from more current plates, nor game in season, including the famous pillow of the beautiful Aurore. We enjoy. Au Bascou
Restaurant: Brasserie Lipp
In the heart of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, the Parisian Brasserie LIPP welcomes its customers every day in a unique place that retains the charm and French aesthetics of the beginning of the last century.
