You have seen the show Hamilton? Then, you will love this tour! And you'll see it as a great addition to the Hamilton show. See how U.S. history and French revolution connects with this fascinating experience. I will take you where the horrors of the French revolution meet with an heroic figure of the U.S. war of independence, all deeply rooted here in Paris. In a homey neighborhood, away from the mainstream places, you'll visit a confidential cove yet bearing a huge historical heritage.

    We will start this tour at a place where the guillotine, a gruesome accessory of the French revolution, took its toll with thousands of victims’ severed heads. This will be the opportunity to learn and “revive” this horrendous episode of French history know as “Grand Terror”. At the end of a short informative walk following the guillotine’s bloody trail, the Grail will be the eeriest Parisian spot ever where the victims are still buried: a fairly sized private estate with a countryside touch to it that shelters an impressive old cemetery with emblazoned graves of the wealthy centuries-old nobility. There peacefully rests the heroic marquis of Lafayette, hero of the U.S. war of Independence, whose deeds influenced America's destiny. Amidst the eeriness of this place, you’ll realize how French and Americans are closely connected through each other’s past. More than getting a history course, you will truly experience a meaningful moment. Oddly, you’ll come out of it with an uplifting sense of awe, of bliss, of peacefulness!

My son is a Lafayette fan and we booked this tour on our first day in Paris - jetlagged after getting off the plane from the States 4 hours prior. The walking did us good, and having Milan as a guide really made all the difference. Milan is the insiders insider when it comes to Lafayette (and more) and it made all the difference. Not too much walking - and there was a plan with things explained and shown on our way to Lafayette's grave. Milan knows all the nuns at the convent next door and because of this we talked to one of them and were invited to see where she lives and she let us in the church which because of the day/time was closed to the public at that time. Really great way to start our Paris vacation. Thank you.

My husband and I have visited Paris many times. We have explored the city in depth, but we were totally unaware about these hidden treasures within the 12th Arrondissement. Milan, founder of With Love From Paris Tours, suggested the Tour of US and French Revolution with General Lafayette after he found out about my husband's love of history. And we were so delighted that we followed through on it. Much of the tour takes place at Picpus Cemetery, the final resting place of General Lafayette, and the mass burial site for 1.306 victims executed during the last six weeks of the Reign of Terror. Milan makes history come to life, when he tells the stories of what happened during the French Revolution....and Lafayette's role in both that and the American Revolutionary War. Milan is such a wonderful tour guide (nice, thoughtful, extremely knowledgable) that my husband and I look forward to going on more tours with him. He is, without a doubt, the most incredible tour guide that we have ever worked with.

What a fantastic tour, especially if you are a French Revolution history buff!! Milan, our guide, was very knowledgeable in explaining what lead up to the revolt and its consequences. He showed many sites that we would never have been to find on our own, like the chapel where the names of those guillotined in the Nation arrondissement were listed - date, name occupation, etc. as well as the private burial plots and mass graves of those 1300+ victims. Very moving. Also, the grave of Lafayette, who fought for the Americans during our revolution. I highly recommend any tour offered by Milan, as his knowledge and charm were extensive. I can't wait to return to Paris and book another tour with him.
