Paris Walking Tour: World War II

Description

Combine a little history with an afternoon stroll through Paris on a guided 2-hour World War II walking tour. Exploring the days of the Nazi occupation, you'll visit Paris sites specific to World War II and hear about the invasion of France, the Resistance, life in Paris during the occupation, the D-Day invasion and, of course, the heady days of Liberation.

• Prefecture de Police - current-day Police headquarters and site of the initial uprising against the occupation
• Deportation Memorial, in memory of the more than 200,000 individuals sent to concentration camps across Europe
• The Resistance, their leaders, secret communications, sabotage and their fate if caught
• The stories of everyday Parisians caught up in the turmoil of the Nazi occupation
• Charles de Gaulle, leader of the Free French and future President of the Republic
• The Liberation, when fighting raged throughout the city until the surrender on August 25, 194
