Invalides & Eiffel Tower Area Art and Food Private Guided Walking Tour

With this three-hour walking tour in Paris’ 7th arrondissement, you’ll explore both the iconic places in the area and also discover some lesser-known gems.

After walking in the gardens of the Rodin museum, you will walk to Invalides before heading to the gourmet street of the area. You will stop at a fantastic cheese shop, have a drink “à la française,” and discover renowned gourmet shops.

You’ll also have a pastry tasting before reaching Champs de Mars to learn about the history of the Eiffel Tower.

Entrance to the Eiffel Tower with Third Floor Summit Access

Skip the line and visit the very top of the most famous monument in the world – the Eiffel Tower! Save time by going directly to the 3rd floor via elevator with your skip-the-line ticket. You’ll outsmart the thousands of people waiting in line with priority access to the very top!

At 984 feet high, you will admire the unarguable best areal views that Paris has to offer and see the main monuments such as the Louvre Museum, the Invalides, and many more from an unparalleled perspective.

However fantastic views are not the only thing you’ll see at the very top. The office of Mr. Eiffel himself is a room he had reserved at the top of the tower to welcome his visitors.

In several places there are illuminated panels with some pictures from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, sometimes even more recently. We see the engineers who designed the tower, Gustave Eiffel the contractor, the architect Sauvestre and Emile Nouguier, the designer. There is also a sign explaining how the inauguration of the tower took place in 1889, and the opportunity to see up close the technical installations at the top of the tower.

Finally, there is a champagne bar on the 3rd floor of the Eiffel Tower with a server offering two varieties of champagnes by Alain Ducasse: a white and a rosé. How many chances in your life will you get to sip champagne at the very top of the Eiffel? Not very many, but here is an opportunity now – best to take it!

Private Louvre Scavenger Hunt

While adults discover the highlights of the historic museum with its many treasures, children are handed a specially-designed booklet plus a pencil and are asked to look for clues and answer questions as they walk through the different wings of the museum. “What were the symbols of the Egyptian Pharaohs?” “Why that smile on the Mona Lisa’s face?” At the end of the hunt, kids are rewarded with a surprise gift…

Suggestion: Visit the Tuileries Garden

The Jardin des Tuileries is a large area of gardens and parks in the center of Paris, between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde. Very popular with locals and visitors, it is also a perfect place to relax after visiting the museums and monuments nearby.

In 1664 the royal gardener Le Nôtre had the task of taking a rather barren area of wasteland and disusing tile factories (hence the name “Tuileries”) and converting it into a royal garden. He had the idea of creating one long straight avenue down the middle with features on either side.

Along the main path, through the Jardin des Tuileries, you will pass numerous water features, garden areas, and statues as well as kiosks and cafes; there are plenty of seats if you have come here for a picnic or to escape the crowds of the Louvre for a while.

One notable attraction, near the Arc du Carousel and the Louvre, is a collection of bronze statues of large naked women by a French artist called Aristide Maillol (1861-1944).

At the far end of the garden, near Place de la Concorde, is the Musée de l’Orangerie with its famous collection of waterlily paintings by Monet.
