With everything from grand boulevards to hidden passages, Paris is arguably the most walkable—and walked—city on Earth. Stretching just 10 kilometers from north to south, and 12 kilometers from east to west, there are few destinations inside the city you cannot walk to with enough time.

And what walks they are! The parks, the canals, the cemeteries, the boulevards, the passages, the riverbanks . . . and that’s not to mention museums and other buildings worthy of a visit. Paris is, as someone said, “inexhaustible.”

WICE works to give its members every opportunity to take advantage of Paris’s great walking and touring opportunities with our Wednesday and Saturday Walk program. We try to fill the calendar each trimester with curated and non-curated walks, and museum tours, on as many Wednesdays and Saturdays as possible. And we also arrange interesting talks from subject matter experts on items of interest in and about Paris. For example, this trimester we offer "indoor" lectures in addition to the walks to locations related to the American Revolution in Paris. Check it out:  there are 3 walks and 4 lectures.  Choose the walks or the talks or both.

Some walks and talks are free to WICE members, and some cost a small consideration to pay for the walk leaders’ time. But all are fun, informative, and interesting. And most end with some time at a local café to get to know your fellow walkers a little better.

So, check out this trimester’s offerings below, grab your walking shoes, and join us for a few hours of exploring some of Paris’s many, many wonderful things to see.

You can be kept abreast of new walks, talks, and tours by subscribing to our newsletter, WICE Direct, following our FaceBook page, or by simply keeping an eye on this page.

And if you have any questions, please send them to walks@wice-paris.org.

    This first walk begins in Autueil and ends approximately three hours later on the Champs Elysées. During the walk we will visit and discuss the hotel where John Adams and family lived 1784-85 and the historical marker for his eccentric neighbor Madame Helvetius, who was a great friend of Benjamin Franklin.

    We’ll metro to Passy to see where Benjamin Franklin lived and had his office, print shop, and research station for studies with electricity. Then we'll visit Square Yorktown (near Place du Trocadéro) with its handsome statue of Benjamin Franklin to honor the Victory for the Americans in the Revolutionary War. An important monument here lists all the French soldiers and officers who died at Yorktown.

    We’ll see the magnificent statue of George Washington at Place d’Iéna, learn why the statue of Rochambeau nearby is pointing west, explore the many mementos at Place des Etats-Unis, and see where Thomas Jefferson lived as America’s second Ambassador to the Court of Versailles.

    At the end of the walk we can settle into a local café and discuss what we saw.

    Note: Participants will gather at 13:30 at metro Michel Ange-Auteuil, street level, on rue d’Auteuil (sortie 2).  The organizer, Mary Jo Padgett, will have on a gray silky scarf.  After the first site visit, participants will take the metro to Passy, so please be prepared to provide your own metro ticket.  From Passy participants will walk to all other locations, ending the day’s tour at the Champs-Elyseés.  Altogether, we expect the walk to take about three hours, so please be prepared with comfortable walking shoes, water, umbrella, the usual things you need in Paris.

    • Square Yorktown, Place du Trocadéro, a small square with a fine statue of Benjamin Franklin and a plaque that lists the French officers who died at the Battle of Yorktown.  We’ll discuss this significant battle and its main players.
    • Place des Etats-Unis, a lovely tree-lined square and garden that is full of mementos of the Franco-American alliance in the War of Independence.  Monuments, streets, statues, markers – we’ll see all the ways this square honors the American Revolution.
    • Hôtel d’York, rue Jacob, the building where the Treaty of Paris was signed that ended the war and the independence of the colonies was recognized by England.
    • Hôtel de Valentinois, corner of rue Raynouard and rue Singer, where Benjamin Franklin lived during his 8 years negotiating support from the Court of Versailles for the American War of Independence.
    • Hôtel Antier, rue d’Auteuil, the building where John Adams and his family lived.  This allows discussion of Adams’s part in the American Revolution.

    Through a combination of four PowerPoint presentations and three walks—based on the book "Paris:  Birthplace of the U.S.A."—attendees will gain an in-depth understanding of the critical role France played in the success of the American Revolution.

    The second walk, which will last about three hours, starts at the Palais du Luxembourg, which was a prison during the French Revolution and was where American Patriot Thomas Paine was held.

    From there we stroll to John Paul Jones’s residence on rue de Tournon.  We’ll drop by 10, rue de L’Odeon to see the plaque noting where Thomas Paine lived 1797 till his return to the U.S. in 1802. 

    Next, Café Procope, which was patronized by Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Paul Jones, Voltaire, etc.  We’ll walk along Quai des Grands Augustines, following in the steps of Thomas Jefferson where he bought many books, which were eventually used to establish the U.S.Library of Congress. 

    Next, Hotel des Monnies, quai de Conti, the Royal Mint, which was a brand new building when Franklin and Jefferson were in Paris (it was completed in 1777).  Jefferson was interested in the production of coins for the new American government, so was a frequent visitor here. 

    We’ll finish at Hotel d’York, rue Jacob, where the Treaty of Paris was signed, giving independence to the American colonies.  

    At the end of the walk we can settle into a local café and discuss what we saw.

    Note: Participants will gather at 13:30 just inside the gate to Jardin du Luxembourg labeled Porte l’Odeon, to the LEFT of the Palais du Luxembourg on rue du Vaugirard. The gate is across rue du Vaugirard from the Odeon Theater.  The organizer, Mary Jo Padgett, will have on a scarf.  Participants will gather inside the garden gate, and then walk to sites in the Odeon area, along Quai des Grands Augustins, and finish on rue Jacob.  We expect the walk to take about three hours, so please be prepared with comfortable walking shoes, water, umbrella, the usual things you need in Paris.

    During this session we discuss and showcase important places where secret plans were hatched to support the American insurgents which helped lead to a successful outcome . . . and then pick up the thread of how the Americans continued to lean on and learn from experienced French connections during the early years of a new country. Topics include:

    •  Hôtel Langeac, Avenue des Champs-Elysées, where Thomas Jefferson lived with this household entourage while he served as America’s second ambassador to the Court of Versailles.  We learn what he accomplished while here. 
    • Rue de Richelieu, where four American presidents lived at some point during their careers during and after the American Revolution.
    • La Bourse de Commerce, rue de Viarmes, where significant scenarios unfolded that were directly related to important figures in the American Revolution – Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson in particular.
    • Café Procope, rue de l’Ancienne Comédie, a popular café patronized by Franklin, Jefferson, John Paul Jones, Voltaire and other significant figures, where plots were hatched, revolutions nurtured, and philosophies discussed.
    • Quai des Grands Augustins – in the steps of Thomas Jefferson.  Booksellers and publishers lined this street where Jefferson bought many books which began the Library of Congress.
    • Hôtel des Monnaies, quai de Conti, was a newly constructed Royal Mint when Franklin and Jefferson were in Paris.  This building, and its director, Marquis de Condorcet, were especially important to the young post-revolution United States.

    Through a combination of four PowerPoint presentations and three walks—based on the book "Paris:  Birthplace of the U.S.A."—WICE members will gain an in-depth understanding of the critical role France played in the success of the American Revolution.

    On the third walk, we’ll celebrate the ways France and the young American country continued a close relationship, even after the end of the War of Independence. 

    We meet at Musée d’Orsay plaza to talk about the Hotel de Salm, next door, and its importance to post-Revolutionary history in America.  Thomas Jefferson watched it being built.

    We’ll pass by the statue of Thomas Jefferson across the street at Passerelle de Solferino and learn why it’s located there.  Crossing the passerelle, we’ll stand along the parapet across the river/road to see the angle that Jefferson enjoyed while watching construction of Hotel de Salm. 

    A stroll through the Tuilleries takes us to Place de la Concord and Hotel de Coislin, where the Treaties of Friendship, Commerce and Alliance were signed and the independence of the U.S.A. was recognized by France. 

    On rue de Rivoli, we'll find a plaque on a column of the gate to the Tuilleries, which describes that the legislative assemblies of the French Revolution met here in the Royal Manege, and around the corner on rue Saint-Honoré we’ll see St. James and Albany Hotel (which was previously Hotel de Noailles), where Lafayette met with Marie Antoinette when he came home for a year during the American Revolution.  

    Eglise Saint-Roch is next, where the tomb of Amiral de Grasse is housed.  King Louis XVI called on this great French admiral to help the Americans in 1781, so he sailed on the flagship “Ville de Paris,” with 120-guns, three decks, and with 28 ships in the fleet to help out at Yorktown. 

    A walk to rue du Richelieu allows discussion of the four American presidents – John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, and John Quincy Adams – who stayed at hotels along this street from time to time (1778-1815). 

    Crossing through the garden of the Palais Royal, where many of the Revolution-era Americans hung out, we arrive at La Bourse de Commerce, built as the City’s Halle aux Blés in 1766.  This building is closely related to the lives of Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.  You’ll find out why.

    At the end of the walk we can settle into a local café and discuss what we saw.

    Note: Participants will meet at 13:30 at the elephant on the plaza of Musée d’Orsay. The organizer, Mary Jo Padgett, will have on a scarf. The walk will take about 3 hours.

    In this final presentation, we discuss Post-American Revolution, when strong connections between the two countries continued.  Between the end of the American Revolution in 1783 and the beginning of the French Revolution in 1789 and after, mutual exchanges of respect, information, and philosophy occurred. Topics include:

    • Hôtel de Salm, rue de Lille, is now known as the Palais de la Légion d’Honneur.  The elegant structure was being built when Jefferson was ambassador and he was enamored by its design.  The architecture of this building would inspire similar buildings in the new United States.
    • Revolutionary Assemblies, rue de Rivoli, where American patriot Thomas Paine was an elected delegate to the French National Convention in 1792.  For this he was eventually sent to prison during the French Revolution.
    • La Conciergerie, quai de l’Horloge, which was a prison during the French Revolution and where many French heroes of the American Revolution ended up.  We learn who was imprisoned here and what happened to them.
    • Palais du Luxembourg, rue de Vaugirard, served as a prison during the French Revolution and it’s where Thomas Paine was held, along with others who were notable figures in the American War of Independence.
    • Hôtel des Invalides, Esplanade des Invalides, is an enormous complex built in the late 17th century by Louis XIV to house 3,000 invalid soldiers and officers who had served in his many wars. When George Washington died, this was the site of an impressive honorary memorial service for him.  The Musée de l’Armée here has an exhibit room with mementos of the American War of Independence.
