Free Tour of Paris During World War II

Discover the Paris of the Second World War through the streets and places that were the scene of the Resistance, the Nazi occupation and the liberation of the city. A free tour that will make you relive history from where it happened. Not to be missed

We will begin our tour of World War II at the Palace of Justice, where the Gestapo interrogated members of the Resistance. Here we will relive moments of tension, courage and betrayal.

Then, we will go to the Brasserie Zimmer, clandestine espionage headquarters. A place where a wrong word or a wrong step could spoil everything.

We will stop at the Hôtel de Ville, witness of the liberation of Paris and scene of one of the most famous speeches in history. We will pass by the Church of Saint Gervais-Saint Protais, a sacred place where the war left its scar.

And, the Shoah Memorial, an awe-inspiring place to truly reflect on the Second World War. We will walk along Rue de Rosiers and Rue des Hospitalières, where raids against Jews were the order of the day.

We will stop at the Carnavalet Museum where past and present intertwine and where oblivion has no place. Heroism and tragedy.

This is not just any tour.

It is an immersive experience through one of the most important historical events of the 20th century. Book now and discover what books and documentaries do not tell.
