Overview

Step back in time and explore the bold transformation that reshaped Paris forever. On this captivating tour, we uncover the story of the Haussmannian renovation—a sweeping, controversial urban overhaul that demolished over 70% of the medieval city to create the Paris we know today. In just 17 years, narrow, winding streets gave way to wide boulevards, grand façades, and a modern metropolis poised to lead the world.

Dive into the drama of this radical reconstruction, where beauty and progress came at the cost of cultural upheaval. Discover how this ambitious project birthed industrial life, consumer culture, and the rhythms of modern urban living. More than a tour, this is a journey to the origins of modernity, set in the heart of the world's most stunning city. Let Paris reveal its dramatic evolution, one story at a time.
