A great walk with a great guideCurious08527610814
I had an excellent walk. It all ended too soon. Pat was informative and entertaining. My understanding of the literary women of Paris was expanded and I got some great photos. I love the "used to live here" plaques and saw a lot of them on this walk. The sweets, too, were great. Take this tour and you will be in good hands.

My students and my self had the amazing privilege of discovering the Aligre market and the history of the women of the French Revolution thanks to our perfect guide for the day Pat. I highly recommend this tour and we would gladly come back to have an other one next year !
