"Paris starts here" - the tour for first timers. Small Group. From Notre-Dame to Louvre

This is our most visual tour, people love it.


Enjoy historic Paris with a Parisian by your side, and experience the magic. 


Because we’re a small group, and our route is 95% car-free, in two hours “Paris starts here. From Notre-Dame to Louvre" brings you to: Notre-Dame, Sainte Chapelle, Conciergerie/Marie-Antoinette, the old Louvre (and the new), the glass pyramid, le Carrousel and the Tuileries Gardens. 

We start near Notre-Dame. We even visit a special basement.

We keep groups small, so you will not chase a huge group. And your guide is a real Parisian – fluent in English, knowledgeable and fun.


Included in tour:

  • Notre-Dame Cathedral (almost finished)
  • Point Zero (compass from which all of France is measured) 
  • French CSI Headquarters
  • Sainte Chapelle Royal Chapel
  • Palais de Justice de Paris 
  • Conciergerie (former palace/prison & Marie Antoinette’s last days)
  • Pont Neuf (Oldest Bridge in Paris - and still looks great)
  • Académie Francaise (home of the Immortals)
  • Pont des Arts (Love Lock Bridge)
  • Louvre (Palace, now art museum)
  • Paris underground (we can’t explain, you have to see it for yourself)
  • Plus many more, i.e. Marine Fireboat, Paris Flower Mart, Henry IV Memorial, Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, etc.


To see all this, we do not go inside every monument.


Note: we reject any large parties at tour start, so if you are a large party, please contact us now to book a private tour. 


The tour lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes
