Offered in: English and 1 more

Paris, a city once consumed by Nazi occupation, forgotten wartime secrets linger, waiting to be uncovered. You’ll come to understand the haunting complexities of life beneath Nazi rule.

As you wander through these storied lanes, you’ll feel the presence of those who lived and struggled here. Perhaps you’ll stumble upon a piece of your own family’s history, a history though distant, feels unnervingly close. From the personal stories that still echo in the walls, to the towering figures who shaped the city’s fate, you’ll gain an intimate understanding of what it truly meant to survive this dark chapter in time.

Paris during World War II will come alive in front of your eyes, explore a once-hidden hotel that sheltered both Holocaust survivors and their Nazi captors, discover bullet-riddled buildings where those who served and protected faced unimaginable peril, and so much more.
