Lights, Camera, Paris! A Free Walking Tour Through 100 Years of Movie History and Locations
Welcome to Paris, the birthplace of cinema.
Have you ever wondered why so many films choose Paris as their backdrop?
This walking tour will take you through the history of French cinema, from the very birth of film to the iconic directors of the French New Wave, and all the way to modern international productions. You’ll discover why Paris has inspired filmmakers for over a century and how the city itself becomes a character on screen.
Along the way, we’ll visit famous filming locations from The Da Vinci Code, Before Sunset, The Devil Wears Prada, Ratatouille, and many more. You’ll see Paris from a new perspective, the way Godard, Truffaut, and Varda once saw it, as a place where every street corner holds a story and every view feels like a film frame.
Come experience Paris as the world’s greatest movie set.
The tour lasts 2 hours and 30 minutes
Available in English
