Overview

Step back into occupied Paris and experience World War II like never before. This isn't a textbook lecture — it's a gripping, chronological journey through the Occupation, the French Resistance, and the Liberation of Paris, told with passion and packed with little-known stories you won't find on Google.

Built on six months of deep research across dozens of books and historical sources, every stop on this tour reveals surprising anecdotes and forgotten details that bring wartime Paris vividly to life. You'll walk the same streets as resistant, collaborators, and ordinary Parisians caught in extraordinary times — and you'll understand how each chapter led to the next.

Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply curious, expect an engaging, story-driven experience led by a Guide who lives and breathes this history.
