Paris Walking Tours - For Free! 

Free downloadable walking tours of Paris on a wide range of themes


Paris is the most visited city in the world, but how many people ever get to the real heart of the place? On a short break time is tight and it can be difficult to break away from the traditional tourist trails, whilst long-term residents tend to get trapped in the routines of everyday life. We would all like a personal tour guide who could show us new places and tell us the stories behind these sites, but few of us would be willing to pay the high prices professional guides charge. Anyway, wouldn’t we all prefer to just take these tours at our own pace without constraints of time and pre-defined programmes?

 

It is for this reason that I have created a series of original walking tours around the city, available to you as completely FREE PDF downloads. These won’t take you to the traditional tourist areas but will show you a different side of the city, an invisible side where ordinary people live and work, but which nevertheless is filled with fascinating places and incredible stories.

Download the App!

The Invisible Paris walks are now available as an iPhone application.  
 

In collaboration with New Zealand based http://www.mytoursapp.com/, I have transformed these Invisible Paris walks into downloadable iPhone guides!  

 

This iPhone app is not a free download, but for just a couple of dollars or euros you get all three walks, as well as free access to any further walks I create. Best of all though, with the integrated GPS and the built-in maps, you can now be sure never to get lost en-route!
