World War II Tour in Paris Fall, Resistance and Liberation

For this first stop in front the Ecole des Mines, we'll do a quick introduction of the tour, and a little catchup in history so that everyone is up to speed!

For the first stop of the tour, we'll talk about the Fall of Paris. Right in front of a very important building for the French Republic, I'll try to give you a good sense of how the French army lost the war so quickly in 1940.

From the Luxembourg garden, we'll peak at the Pantheon, where characters linked to the War are buried!

Very quick stop to show you a quick sign of the war

In our third actual stop, we'll talk extensively about the Parisian resistance, and especially the beginnings of the resistance. We will follow the journey of a French femal resistance fighter.

I will show you some signs of the war that still exist on the most famous french university: The Sorbonne!

For our final stop, we will talk about the Liberation of Paris. I will tell you about the fights that took place to liberate the city, and how close Paris came to destruction.
