This walking tour starts in the Jewish quarter of the Marais district, followed by a walk to the Hotel de Ville and the Prefecture where FFI fighters battled the last Nazis. From there, you’ll continue to Notre Dame Cathedral where General Charles de Gaulle attended a Mass in honor of the liberation of Paris on August 25, 1944. Next stop: the Louvre where important masterpieces were removed from the Louvre in 1939 nearly a year before the German invasion. You’ll pass by the Hotel Meurice, former German Headquarters, and the rue Cambon where Coco Chanel kept her shop open during the war while she stayed with her German officer lover at the nearby Ritz Hotel. The tour ends at the Place de la Concorde to view plaques listing the names of allied soldiers shot down by the Germans during the liberation of Paris, and the Jeu de Paume Museum, where Germans held goods confiscated from Jewish-owned art galleries, bank vaults, and residences. [3-hour private tour, includes hotel pickup.]

The Château de Fontainebleau, just 35 miles southeast of central Paris, can proudly claim to have been a sovereign residence for eight centuries. Capétiens, Valois, Bourbons, Bonaparte and Orléans, all members of French ruling dynasties, have lived within these walls. The chateau dates back to 1137—and centuries of royals have expanded this former royal hunting lodge to a more than 1,500-room estate. Most of what you’ll see dates back to the 16th century, a combination of Italian Renaissance art and French design, these rooms are some of the most intricate and breathtaking in France. If times allows, you can enjoy lunch in this charming area.
