Discover the story of occupied and liberated Paris on this private walking tour through neighborhoods and landmarks shaped by World War II. In Le Marais and the historic Jewish Quarter, guests gain insight into daily life under Nazi rule, the persecution and deportation of Jewish residents, and the courage of the French Resistance. The route passes powerful sites including Rue des Rosiers, the Holocaust Memorial, and the Prefecture de Police near Notre-Dame, where visible war damage still tells part of the story.
