Summer funfair ride & Galeries Lafayette walking tour - Seasonal
An intimate group walking experience that will start inside and on the rooftop of Galeries Lafayette, worldly known and renowned Paris department store. Then, after a leisurely stroll into the chic, luxurious and prestigious Opera house / Vendome square district (home of the Ritz palace hotel and the most prestigious jewelers) and the Haussmannian Paris, while your guide will unfold historical and fun facts to you on the way, you'll reach our final destination: Paris Summer Funfair, a seasonal attraction park installed right inside the gardens of the Louvre museum, known as Tuileries Gardens. There, between the Louvre and Champs Elysees, we'll offer you (and go with you) a ride at the contemplative Ferris wheel or the exhilarating Aerial Swing (your choice!) with the Eiffel tower as a natural backdrop for exciting keepsake photos.
Ooops! I almost forgot. Your guide will indulge you festive treats for your sweet tooth at the funfair.
