Have you ever thought of Paris as of a copy of another, older place? While being the most beautiful city in the world it is modeled after another, much older city. This private guided walking tour of neoclassical Paris takes you through an area that changed dramatically in the years prior to the French Revolution and makes you understand how the city of Paris is a reflection of the city of Rome. Explore the strict and sober elegance of the neoclassical style at Palais Royal, the Tuileries, the Cour Carré and other important sites.

Our tour was fantastic! We learned so much and saw things we would definitely not have seen otherwise. We obtained an understanding of how architecture aligns with the history of the French nation.

Another great experience with Boris after our tour with him in Rodin's museum! We've discovered the hidden beauty of Paris we've never seen before and its great history, thanks to our excellent and knowledgeable guide! I do recommend this tour, don't miss it!
