The Essential Tour

This unique Paris walking tour reveals the lesser-told side of the city’s history; one dominated not by great men but by inspirational women, who persevered within a bastion of patriarchy to make their mark on Paris, and the world.

Starting outside a female-owned café in front of the stunning Jardins de Luxembourg and ending near the Panthéon in Paris’ Latin Quarter, this walk guides you through the city’s most beautiful gardens where we find, amongst the stunning fountains and flower arrangements, 20 statues of historical women. We spend the first part of this tour in the gardens discussing the importance of some of these illustrious women before continuing into the charming streets of the historic Latin Quarter, passing landmarks such as the Luxembourg palace, Curie Institute and the impressive Panthéon and unravelling stories of more incredible women.

This empowering, signature Women of Paris tour is led by our witty, entertaining, and informative guides who can’t wait to introduce you to influential women of Paris’ past.
