Tour Description
Do you prefer Santa Claus or Father Fouettard? You don't know what we're talking about? Then join us and discover this and other Parisian stories and sights during this cultural jog that starts after sunset. You will learn many stories about Paris and traditions/culinary delights that only show up during this season, told under the thousand and one lights of the City of Lights disguised in its even shinier coat for the holidays!
At the end of the circuit of around 10 km, you will be invited to a drink (coffee, hot chocolate, beer or wine, the choice is yours) in a typical French café-restaurant, close to our meeting point and also the finish line, Place Saint-Michel. That's Paris... under the magic of Christmas! To be enjoyed alone or with friends!
