What to expect

Your guide assembles the group in Montmartre, navigating narrow streets past former artist homes and current working studios before a snack break (30 minutes at local bakery). Then metro or taxi to the Louvre, where you'll walk galleries examining how beauty evolved across cultures and centuries—expect crowds around the Mona Lisa. Crossing the Seine to Île de la Cité, you'll enter Sainte-Chapelle's soaring stone cage of coloured light, then exit to stroll cobbled medieval streets and pass Notre-Dame's façade. The tour concludes at the Eiffel Tower; ascending costs extra and requires advance online booking.
