This walk allows you to stroll through the gardens that have been laid out in the heart of Paris and enjoy a relative calm that is hard to imagine so close to busy thoroughfares. Along the way, you will discover views of the Champs-Élysées and the Pont Alexandre III, some of Paris's most famous monuments and museums, and a rich and diverse collection of statues.

Baron Haussmann transformed Paris between 1852 and 1870. The 9th arrondissement of Paris is the epicentre of this transformation: the new roads, grand boulevards and crossroads highlight the buildings adapted to life under the Second Empire, including department stores, the opera house, theatres, music halls, churches, press headquarters, banks, covered passages, Morris columns, kiosks, etc. This tour will introduce you to the witnesses of this era and how they have adapted to today's Paris.
