Insightful and inspiring - this was a lovely, different way to think about Paris. There isn't too much walking and you get to see the beautiful Luxemborg gardens.

This is the perfect way to learn more about the impact women had in France’s history. Facts, rather than myths, demonstrate how some of the great women actually lived and led without the credit deserved. Highly recommend!

Engaging tour and conversation with Pat, the guide. I think what I enjoyed the most was that one sees parts of the city not necessarily associated with women's lives, although of course they are always present and always have been! I'm looking forward to the Women Writer's tour in March. And I look forward to any expansion of topics and locations!
