How Paris Became Paris: Notre-Dame to the Louvre
Overview
Discover the story of Paris with Ezrah — a passionate local storyteller who brings the city to life through unforgettable characters, dramatic events, and the stories hidden behind its most famous landmarks.
This is more than a walking tour. It's a journey through the people, ambitions, triumphs, and tragedies that shaped one of the world's most iconic cities.
From Notre-Dame to the Louvre, uncover the unexpected story of Napoleon and Joséphine, follow the final path of Marie Antoinette, see Notre-Dame through the eyes of Victor Hugo, and discover how centuries of revolution, resilience, and reinvention transformed Paris.
With engaging storytelling, local insight, and a touch of humor, you'll leave seeing Paris not as a collection of monuments, but as a living story.
