    The tour starts at Parque Mariscal Sucre, where you will learn about the history of one of the oldest neighborhoods in Mexico City, La Colonia Del Valle, established in 1900, and take a selfie at the French Kiosk donated in 1920. At the Parroquia del Purísimo Corazón de María, admire one of the first parishes in the city, built between 1922 and 1938.
