Itinerary

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!

Marquis De Lafayette’s burial site

Published on Jul, 2024

This was a great experience to learn about the period of terror and the use of the guillotine. Although it is a walking tour, the terrain is mostly flat and over minimal distances. If you are an American history buff and appreciate the importance of Lafayette’s involvement in the American Revolution, then this is a perfect tour for you. Milan is extremely knowledgeable and the tour is very interactive with Q&A.

Milan was gracious, enthusiastic and so very well-informed. I learned things that I will take home to the U.S to share with everyone. I highly recommend him for any tours! A highlight of my visit!
