A Self-Guided Audio Tour Around Parc Montsouris

Escape the crowds that linger on Paris’ large avenues to a neighborhood filled with bucolic scenes within the city.

On this audio tour, the local Comte de Saint-Germain will show you a side of Paris that most people don’t see. You'll wind your way through streets adorned with art nouveau mosaics around Parc Montsouris in the 14th arrondissement, to a small plaza in the 13th arrondissement that'll remind you of Provence. Along the way, he’ll tell you about Paris’ complex water system and let you in on where the city’s drinking water comes from. (Here’s a hint, it doesn’t come from the Seine River!)

Allow 1.5 hours for this walk. There are several stops, some with benches for you to rest on, and public restrooms along the way.
