U.S. FOUNDING FATHERs in Paris - PARIS walk
“Extraordinary men living in extraordinary times in an extraordinary city…”
During the twelve years leading up to the French Revolution, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson lived in Paris. These great men made history in the United States but also impacted that of France. Why did the American colonies send such high profile ambassadors to Paris?
Let’s walk in the footsteps of these Founding Fathers, along with other figures who took part in the American Revolution: LaFayette, Rochambeau, Thomas Paine, John Paul Jones and more…
You’ll see where they lived, died, had coffee and were even imprisoned! We’ll also explore decisive events such as the Treaty of Independence or the Louisiana Purchase…
Join me on a journey back in time to the American Revolution in Paris!

Thank you again, Thierry. We throughly enjoyed learning about American history in beautiful Paris and how the United States' and France's past were intertwined in very specific and pertinent ways. Thierry brought the history to light and clarified the relationships between each entity involved in the French and the American revolution -including the British. So much history and treks to many landmarks easily missed without a knowledgable guide. A must for history buffs!
