About this experience

You have seen the show Hamilton? Then, you will love this tour! And you'll see it as a great addition to the Hamilton show. See how U.S. history and French revolution connects with this fascinating experience. I will take you where the horrors of the French revolution meet with an heroic figure of the U.S. war of independence, all deeply rooted here in Paris. In a homey neighborhood, away from the mainstream places, you'll visit a confidential cove yet bearing a huge historical heritage.

What you'll see and do

  1. With Love From Paris Tours

    We will start this tour at a place where the guillotine, a gruesome accessory of the French revolution, took its toll with thousands of victims’ severed heads. This will be the opportunity to learn and “revive” this horrendous episode of French history know as “Grand Terror”. At the end of a short informative walk following the guillotine’s bloody trail, the Grail will be the eeriest Parisian spot ever where the victims are still buried: a fairly sized private estate with a countryside touch to it that shelters an impressive old cemetery with emblazoned graves of the wealthy centuries-old nobility. There peacefully rests the heroic marquis of Lafayette, hero of the U.S. war of Independence, whose deeds influenced America's destiny. Amidst the eeriness of this place, you’ll realize how French and Americans are closely connected through each other’s past. More than getting a history course, you will truly experience a meaningful moment. Oddly, you’ll come out of it with an uplifting sense of awe, of bliss, of peacefulness!

Great tour on Gen. Lafayette in the US and French revolutions

My father, son and I went on the walking tour of the French and American Revolutions with Gen. Lafayette with Milan Melet as our guide. I have been on many walking tours of Paris covering various topics and this one was a highlight. It is off the normal tourist path and arrondissements that are the go-to -- and that's what makes it unique. No one else is doing this tour. It's not a lot of walking, but there is much to see and learn -- with the highlight being the cemetery and church at the end. I'd highly recommend it, particularly to history buffs.

Response from the operator: Thank you for this wonderful review! I'm delighted that you, your father, and your son enjoyed the French and American Revolutions tour. It's always rewarding to share this unique slice of history with visitors who appreciate its depth. I'm glad I could introduce you to a side of Paris that goes beyond the typical tourist path. I hope to welcome you back on your next visit to Paris!

The tour guide was...

The tour guide was informed and informative! I got to enjoy a small tour and was able to ask a lot of questions and the guide always provided context for the deep answers that were offered! Guide was friendly and went above and beyond expectations!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much Arthur for this wonderful review! I loved sharing Paris's history with such an engaged and curious visitor. Your enthusiasm made the experience truly rewarding for me. I hope to welcome you again soon! And as Voltaire said: We must cultivate our garden :-)

A tour to remember!

Our tour guide Milan was fabulous-- he really knows his stuff! He walked us to various sites related to the French Revolution and thoroughly explained each one, putting all the events into context. We learned about connections between the French Revolution and major events in US history that we were eye-opening. We appreciate his passion for the subject, expert knowledge and choice of venues. Well worth it!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words, Anna! I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour and found the connections between the French Revolution and US history interesting. It was a pleasure sharing these stories and sites with you. Thanks again for joining me 😀

Outstanding tour, Milan was so informative and fun! Highly recommended!

Exceptional tour! Our US and French Revolution with General Lafayette walking tour with Milan was the best walking tour we’ve ever done. We’re a family with two teenagers, and Milan made the history engaging, informative, and fun. He treated us like old friends and shared behind-the-scenes locations not open to the public, which felt very special and truly privileged. Highly recommended!

Outstanding tour!

This was an exceptional tour! Our US and French Revolution with General Lafayette walking tour with Milan was the best walking tour we’ve ever done. We’re a family with two teenagers, and Milan made the history engaging, informative, and fun. He treated us like old friends and he shared his personal insights and we went to locations not open to the public, which felt very special and truly privileged. Seeing Lafayette's resting place and the mass grave of 1300 people who died as revolutionaries was very moving. Highly recommended!

US and French revolution with General Lafayette: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.

How much does US and French revolution with General Lafayette cost?

+

Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does US and French revolution with General Lafayette take?

+

Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.

Is US and French revolution with General Lafayette worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 42 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule US and French revolution with General Lafayette?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is US and French revolution with General Lafayette suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book US and French revolution with General Lafayette?

+

Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does US and French revolution with General Lafayette start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Paris?

+

Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Paris?

+

April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Paris?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
