Paris : Game of French Thrones (Walking Tour) – Paris, France

EXPERIENCE:

Just like a binge-watching award-winning tv-series, this Tour takes you through 5 episodes of French History full of intrigue, conspiracies, scandals, murder and improbable coincidences that shaped the world as we know it today and inspired many famous works of fiction (including tv-series, video-games and movies).

Each episode has been designed to show within a decent time frame, the origins of the event, its consequences down the line but also how those events are relatable to our world today. History doesn’t repeat itself … but it sure rhymes. Our world is not so different from 500 years ago as we think. The events that you are going to discover will feel eerily familiar to what you might hear on the news or read on the internet and you will see how those kinds of events still shape our world today.

This Tour will show and amaze you with its acumen, witty pop culture references, deep reflection on the functioning of the world, but also tell you stories that most people have never heard about : From a benign road accident starting a war, to political maneuvers that created myths we still live with today, through the mass production of lies to justify power grabs, to leaders that shaped our modern world and were forgotten, this Tour has it all.

This Tour is also the perfect thing to do before a visit to the Louvre ! The last of the 5 main stories happens not far from the entrance and describes important events that happened in the Louvre and sets the stage for the rise of the dynasty that ruled France during its Golden Age ! This way you can go and visit the Louvre right after having learned about the Monarchy and what happened in the Palace itself !

And finally, the places we visit will come alive. You will feel that the past is never truly gone. The past is present. The same passions and follies govern us today. At the end of the day, the objective of this Tour is to make us understand our past so we can build a better future. To give everyone a perspective on world history and the dynamics that govern our destinies and the fate of Nations.

Just like a binge-watching award-winning tv-series, once the Tour is over, you will still want more, but at least we hope something will stay with you forever and help you make better decisions and understand where we are heaed.

The Game is never over, it’s just that the players come and go.

So come and join us to discover and learn from History and learn the rules of the Game.

Important note : The Tour consists of 5 main stories but for those that want to learn more, there are 2 bonus stories after the end of the tour that you can embark on without any additionnal charge !
