Overview

Explore daily life in Paris under Nazi Occupation during the Second World War on this 3-hour walking tour.

Begin in Le Marais, the heart of the Jewish quarter, where you will learn about the lives of those who suffered the horrors of the Holocaust, were deported and murdered at Auschwitz, as well as tales of heroic opposition by the French Resistance.

Hear about quiet acts of resistance, like Silvia Beech refusing to sell books to the Gestapo, or Josephine Baker, the famous dancer spying for the Allied Forces. Walk along Rue Rivoli and to Place Vendome to see Le Meurice and the Ritz, two iconic hotels where decisive decisions and meetings took place.

Walk into Place de la Concord, and along the Champs-Élysées, to the statue of Charles de Gaulle with grand views towards the Eiffel Tower, le Grand Palais and the Arc de Triomphe to hear how the Nazis were finally conquered and peace was declared in August 1944.
