Paris in World War 2: A Walking Tour
Step back in time and explore the heart of Occupied Paris on this fascinating walking tour through the city’s storied streets. From the days of resistance and repression to liberation and celebration, each stop reveals a chapter in the city’s dramatic wartime history.
Begin at Cité Metro, on the historic Island centre where Paris has its civic and administrative history, symbolic for Nazi occupiers imposing a new order on a defeated adversary...
Just around the corner lies the Préfecture de Police, a crucial stronghold of the French Resistance. In August 1944, courageous officers barricaded themselves inside, sparking the uprising that would lead to Paris’s freedom.
We'll continue on and make several stops until we finish at the glittering Place Vendôme, where the scars of battle have long since been hidden by luxury. Here, amid timeless elegance, reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and resilience that saved the City of Light from the darkness of war.
