Right Bank Landmarks: an Open Air Museum

Since middle-ages, people consider the city of Paris is comparable to a human body: the Left Bank, traditionally famous for the university and the abbeys, is the brain; the Right Bank, renown for the economy and the places of power, represents the legs, helping the city to walk and work.

 

The centre of the Right Bank gathers such a concentration of famous buildings an can be explored in few hours. Each square, each monument has its story, but they also are a properly staging of different regimes.

From what age is the tour recommended?

This tour is easy to follow for children, it is a good way to discover the essential monuments and stories of the Right Bank, while walking outside. I recommend this tour from 6 years old.

 

How long is the tour?

If you need a short version (family tours or just because you prefer), 2.5 hours is the minimum to appreciate this visit. If you want to see everything, a 4 hours tour is highly valued to go beyond the Louvre museum and walk to: the Opera house, the Halles forum, a nice covered passage, and Ste Eustache church.

No, the tour happens rain or shine. Everything is outside, so no timetable to follow.

The tour is between 2.5 and 4.5 miles long. Breaks are possible on the way.
