Before Sunset: A Self-Guided Walking Tour Through Paris
History and romance intertwine beautifully along the banks of the Seine and in its picturesque streets. Inspired by Richard Linklater’s beloved film Before Sunset, this tour takes you on a cinematic self-guided walk through Jesse and Celine’s Paris, retracing their passionate reunion after nine years apart.
Starting in front of the legendary Shakespeare and Company bookstore, you’ll discover the iconic settings from the protagonists’ conversations, as well as hidden spots that even seasoned Parisians might overlook. You’ll criss-cross over bridges including Pont Marie and Pont de la Tournelle to Île Saint-Louis, where I’ll share its little-known history and charming nooks.
