 The World War II Walk takes us back to Paris’ darkest hours – the Nazi occupation. We will explore subjects such as the invasion of France, the Resistance, life in Paris during the occupation, the D-Day invasion, and of course the Liberation itself. Also included are visits to specific Paris sites related to this historical time period.
