Religious leaders, Queens, Warriors, Mistresses, Rebels, Mothers ... The Great Women of French History have played many roles and have had a lasting impact on World History. Sometimes they did it in plain sight for all to see, sometimes they had to do it behind closed doors and prying eyes. Some of them helped set traditions and beliefs we still follow today, others have rejected all codes “of proper conduct” to live free and according to their wishes. Some have only amused or shocked their contemporaries, others have built empires and broken kingdoms. All of them exceptional, all of them unique. This tour is an Ode to them, a love letter to the most mesmerizing, beautiful, cunning, wise or courageous ladies to have walked the Earth and called France their home. This tour will take us to meet each one of them in a series of 6 locations spread through Paris and relevant to each of them. This tour is so long (3h) only because there is so much to say about those amazing ladies and we hope, so much to learn from or get inspired by. Plus the tour comes with a cheat-sheet that will prolong your experience by giving you links to further reading material or videos to watch and learn from. But please note that this tour is a synthesis of all the ladies we already talk about on other Ode to Paris tours. This tour IS NOT a repeat of those stories however since we look at those events through the eyes of our ladies and we focus on their lives and their achievements, not the broader stories they are involved in and have their place to be told on our other experiences. This experience is either for those who did not do our other tours and just want to meet our Great Ladies first, or for those that already took some or all of our tours and want to come back to dig deeper and learn more about our fabulous heroes who were not always wearing skirts or were just obedient housewives. ;) PRIVATE TOUR : On the Private tour the length can be extended to 4 hours as we cover one extra story (the Savior of France) and location and go deeper in the other stories to give you a full picture of all the stories.
