After 5 years of being away from Paris, The Traveling Professor returns with a newly invigorated and reimagined tour.  With a small group of 10-12 travelers, discover the most famous and most initmate parts of the city.   A tour leader will be with the group 24/7.  However, in order to afford travelers the chance to explore freely, we will not have tour guides giving presentations at each monument or museum.  Instead, the tour leader will give an overview of points of interest on the itinerary and then let you visit each site as you wish.
