Why choose this Paris tour ?
Without France, the American Revolution would not have succeeded.
Without America, the French Revolution might not have happened.
America & France are two nations united by a shared history, a history that is older than America itself. Our Founding Fathers sought the help of France to create our nation, and this tour will take you to the places where these great patriots lived & worked.
Along the way we will discuss the contribution that France made in ensuring American victory against the British – and the contribution that America made in disseminating Revolutionary ideals among the French elite.
The Franco-American friendship has now lasted 230 years, and throughout that time Americans have continued coming to Paris.
School groups are welcome on this tour, contact us for special group rates.

What makes America’s Founding Fathers in Paris, Walk in their Footsteps (Small Group Tour) a unique experience ?
The city’s first café, opened in 1686, was frequented by our forefathers – both Franklin & Jefferson came here to meet with fellow Revolutionaries, drink coffee & play chess
Not far from the gardens was the home of John Paul Jones, his final residence. He died here in Paris & his remains were placed in a cemetery that was paved over & forgotten. It took several years to find his tomb, repatriate his remains & give him a full mililtary burial in the US.
Nearby is the home of Thomas Paine, who lived in Paris for 5 years after publishing his best-seller “Common Sense”
We visit the location where Jefferson lived briefly during his 5-year stay in Paris. Following in Franklin’s footsteps, he became Ambassador to France in 1784.
