Paris World War II History Walking Tour - Resistance & Liberation Sites (Max 10)

Discover Paris during World War II
on foot

Many important wartime events took place in Paris, and some places still bear the scars of the war. Starting from 60 Boulevard Saint-Michel, you'll walk about 2.5 km to get a feel for what Paris was like at the time. The tour runs in small groups of up to 10 people, in English or French.

Learn about the fall in 35 days and the start of the Resistance

Hear how the German army reached Paris in just 35 days and what happened in the city during those days. Then follow the footsteps of Agnès Humbert, an early resistance fighter from the Musée de l'Homme network, the first resistance group in Paris, around the Luxembourg Gardens.

Relive the August 1944 liberation from the Sorbonne to Notre-Dame

Learn how the Allies finally liberated Paris after four years of occupation, about the battle fought in Paris in August 1944, and how close the city came to serious destruction. You'll also hear about a very special airborne operation that began just hours before the Allies entered Paris. The tour ends in front of Notre-Dame, and those who wish can have a drink together afterwards.
