Stroll from St.-Germain to the Louvre
This stroll can be done day or night and is the most magical way to see the Louvre, I. M. Pei’s pyramid and the Institut de France. Plus, we take you down secret alleyways and over one of the most wonderful pedestrian bridges in Paris. Great snack stops abound amid the art and culture.
Stroll from St.-Germain to Notre Dame
This is a walk on the left bank through some of the oldest, narrowest streets in the City of Light, with stops at the two oldest churches and the best English bookstore in Paris. You’ll find countless stores, cafés and cultural stops along the way.
Around the Marais
This walk begins at the most beautiful square in Paris and lets you wander around the ancient, adorable streets of the Marais. Here you’ll shop till you drop and then revive yourself with art, culture and fantastic food. We even throw in a spa tip so you can end your day on a relaxing note.
Shop the rues St.-Dominique and Grenelle
This walk is a guide to our two favorite streets in the 7th Arrondissement, plus a wonderful market street and an Art Nouveau surprise. Here you’ll find fabulous shopping, the florist to the stars and an amazing boulangerie.
Exploring Rue du Cherche-Midi
How wonderful can one street be? We wind you through Cherche-Midi’s fantastic antique shops, secondhand stores, tea salons and cafés, and even stop at one of Paris’s newest hammams (Turkish saunas). This is a lesser-known part of the 6th Arrondissement, but something worth discovering!
Pigalle and Montmartre
This is the ultimate insider’s guide to the 18th and 9th Arrondissements. We take you beyond Sacré-Coeur and the touristy Moulin Rouge to the real neighborhoods of the 18th and beyond. You’ll discover fabulous foodie finds and darling yet chic fashion stops. You’ll experience museums and cafés galore and even the last vineyard in Paris. You’ll end your day by strolling the secret passageways of Paris, constructed in the early 1800s.
Gourmet Tour
There is nothing more lovely than a stroll through the left bank gourmet hotspots. This walk takes you by fabulous churches and monuments, and you’ll stop in and taste everything from champagne to cheese to baguettes to ice cream.
Pastry and Chocolate Tour
The favorite tour of the Girls’ Guide to Paris, serving up something all girls love: chocolate! Paris, pastry and chocolate are three things that go together. We take you to the best spots on the left bank—places you cannot find anywhere but Paris! Discover desserts, baguettes, pastries and artistry combined with a stop for culture and time to digest.
Quick Gourmet Tour
For those who want to savor Paris’s top gourmet spots but don’t have too long to linger, we offer our Quick Gourmet Tour. This tour is concentrated—although you won’t walk far, your taste buds will dance to the moon when you sample exquisite cheeses, Spanish hams, spectacular bread and delights from the Auvergne region of France. Plus, you’ll find a little hole-in-the-wall that sells the best artisanal oils on earth.
Walk and Shop the Marais and Bastille
Our most extensive tour to date. Walk and Shop the Marais profiles 64 stores and restaurants in the Marais. This neighborhood is hands down one of the best places to find unique and exciting shops and ateliers in Paris.
Shopping with Jackie in Paris
The Jackie Kennedy walk focuses on the places she knew back when she spent her year abroad in Paris during college as well as ones that she revisited as First Lady and later as Jacqueline Onassis. It offers a glimpse of the 16th Arrondissement, a neighborhood with a lot to offer, yet one that first-time visitors might not otherwise explore. At one of the stops on this tour, you’ll enjoy the best view of the Eiffel Tower in the city.
Audrey Hepburn in Paris
The Audrey Hepburn walking tour through central Paris links the locations of some of her best-known films: Funny Face (1957), Love in the Afternoon (1957), Charade (1963), Paris When It Sizzles (1964) and How to Steal a Million (1966). The route starts with Givenchy headquarters, the place where many of her costumes were designed, and ends at the Palais Royal (the location of the climactic scenes in Charade), with stops in the 1st Arrondissement and at key points in the terribly chic 8th.
