Description

The stroll goes on with a beautiful 400 years old quaint square close to the oldest bridge in Paris: the Pont Neuf. The panorama over the Seine river from there is one of the best. Nearby we find a mythic department store, where luxury meets art and history. Art Nouveau and Art Deco buildings offer some of the most beautiful examples of architectural wonders in Paris.

We will then go towards the Louvre Museum, and understand better the 800 years old building, from the fortress to the Royal Palace, now accounting as the largest Museum in the world.

The last part of the tour will take us to the Royal Palace and its wonderful gardens hidden behind, where the first shopping mall was invented.

A few streets across, the walk goes to the Tuileries garden, where some of the most important pages of French history were signed. Art and food kiosks cooled by many trees, and large water ponds line the garden towards the end at Place de la Concorde. It saw the guillotine during the French Revolution as well as the Olympic Games in 2024.
