Overview

Explore the authentic charm of Montparnasse with ExperienceFirst, guided by a knowledgeable local tour guide. This neighborhood, often overlooked in favor of more famous Parisian landmarks, holds a rich history and a unique blend of cultures.

Between the World Wars, Montparnasse was a lively hub of the Cafe Society, where celebrities mingled with locals, and the arts flourished, even in the face of challenges like Nazi occupation and the French Resistance.

Wander through the wide boulevards, quaint side streets, and visit a peaceful cemetery, all guided by ExperienceFirst and your local expert. Experience the vibrant energy of the "little theatre district." The tour culminates at the tallest tower in Paris. If you're inclined, you may choose to ascend for breathtaking views. Please note, the observation deck ticket isn't included, but your ExperienceFirst guide can provide insights on what you'll see from the top or recommend great dining spots in the area.

A worthwhile & educational tour. Artie was funny and offered a lot of interesting insights and tips along the way. I especially appreciated how she made a point to engage with everyone throughout the tour: asking about our origins, likes, where we’d been, giving recommendations, etc. Great fun!
