In a city rich in culture and famous landmarks, it’s easy to overlook the many fascinating neighborhoods that make the real Paris what it is. Montparnasse is just such a place. The neighborhood blends culture and counterculture, which you’ll learn more about as you stroll these historic and scenic streets.
Here, the Cafe Society reigned supreme between World War I and World War II. Celebrities mingled with the working class, and art thrived. Not even the shadow of Nazi occupation and the French Resistance could dim the joie de vivre of Montparnasse.
With your Parisian guide to lead the way, you’ll visit the charming “Street of Theaters,” a peaceful cemetery, and the famous Boulevard du Montparnasse. Each avenue has its own story. Finally, we’ll visit the only skyscraper in Paris, the Tour Montparnasse. Your ticket includes a guided visit to the observation deck where you can enjoy sweeping views of Paris and the city’s best view of the Eiffel Tower.
