Lecture Description
Paris is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and for a good reason. From the Eiffel Tower to Sacré-Cœur, France's capital is full of well-known, world-famous tourist destinations. However, Paris is much more than grand monuments and museums. It's a place full of life, history, and culture. In this talk, we'll journey through the City of Lights away from the crowds of tourists, and discover Paris like a local, beyond its iconic landmarks.
