Paris Under the German Occupation Walking Tour

In June 1940, France suffered a crushing defeat against Germany. Declared an open city to avoid destruction, Paris began 1,500 days of occupation. Although the city held a unique and privileged status in the eyes of the Reich, a resistance movement took shape despite initial popular support for Pétain's Vichy regime. Originating among intellectuals, it was quickly bolstered by de Gaulle's Free France, British secret services, and French communist networks.

This dark period was not just a fight against the occupier; it was also a complex civil war. Marked by betrayals, assassinations, the deportation of Jewish citizens, and fratricidal street fighting, history took on tragic nuances until August 1944.

Through a three-hour walking tour of these historic sites, we will tell you the uncompromising story of this fascinating and still controversial era.
