About your guide

For Meeting the French, touring the Eiffel tower is 'old school'. They don't herd you onto a bus and have you driven to the famous sights. Oh no, they focus on intimate and original experiences which celebrate the French lifestyle and culture, helping you to see the real Paris. The city they call home.

Here’s the plan…

Enter into the green lungs of Paris. Explore the gardens along the prestigious Champs-Elysées. Draw breath at the beauty of the trees and the landscape before you.

While you stroll your expert guide will give you an in-depth history of the gardens and their relationships with the city. You will visit the gardens of the Universal Exhibitions, the Swiss Valley garden and the surroundings of Elysée Palace. It's a far cry from the busy streets close by.

These are pleasant strolls, where you’ll have the chance to take in the surroundings, see a selection of rare species and trees and enjoy the green side of Paris. A tour that is good for the heart and soul.
