Overview

Do you already know the monuments where you would prefer an original route to the clichés of the tourist routes of typical Paris deja-vu? These towers are for you!

The “Unusual Paris” tours are not typical tours. These tours will take you away from famous statues, churches and monuments, and introduce you to an unexpected, yet delightful side to the capital. Our Parisian drivers, and passionate about history, will show you lots of life and novelties and little hidden corners of paradise.

Have you heard of: The City of Flowers? The arenas of Lutèce? The Butte aux Cailles? The Alligre market? The Campaign in Paris? the entrances to the catacombs?
soon yes! It's a really fun way to discover the other side of Paris, by Parisians.
