Five separate audio walking tours guiding you though the quintessential Paris neighborhoods of Bastille, Montmartre, Marais, St. Germain, and the Latin Quarter

BBC archive audio includes clips that transport you back in time to experience significant moments from Parisian history that happened right where you are standing.

The five tours include:

Bastille

From bars and dancehalls to revolutionary triumphs, the Bastille is an area of Paris electric with creative energy and political fervor. Its history stretches from the dark medieval period to the buoyant, eclectic Paris of today.

Montmartre

Dominated by the hilltop Basilique du Sacr-Coeur, Montmartre demonstrates the contradictions of Paris at large both a bastion of the Faith and a historical lure for illicit pleasures and radical art. Join painters, composers, poets, singers and their hedonistic hangers-on who have flocked here over the years.

Marais

One of the most fashionable parts of Paris, this bustling area exudes style and charm wherever you turn- from the stunning architecture to the hip boutiques, cafs and bars. But Marais has a dramatic history too; the rise and fall of monarchs and religions, and chaotic revolutions have all played out here.

St Germain

The heart of stylish Parisian living, the streets of St Germain have long inspired the likes of Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, Picasso and Oscar Wilde. This arrondisement is edgy, energetic, and trs chic and shimmers with movie glamour too.

The Latin Quarter

Quartier Latin, or the Latin Quarter, dubbed thus because up to the time of the famous and bloody revolution, students and professors debated here, and set the world right in that classical tongue.

Customer Reviews

Fun but a little confusing (2 stars)
Nice tours and fun audio...if you can figure out how to get started. It's a bit cryptic to navigate. It's beautiful (cute shoes!), but sacrificed usability for the looks. You're not sure what you are committing to with the walk, duration time is also cryptic--half day, what is that? 12 hours? 4 hours...? The bummer is that if there are issues with an app, they usually get fixed on an update and you start using the app again, but even if that

Great app!! (5 stars)
It gives a quick information and it's easy to use. If you don't have an abroad plan date you don't need it to see the information while you walk

For me it was very useful and help me to have a quick view of the most important places in Paris in my free times. I was on a business trip

Love me, love my paris @oIMOo (5 stars)
