Interesting and pleasant visit, a good time - Great tour of this neighborhood! We have learned a lot of very interesting things about Defence, a very well-known neighborhood, but about which we do not know much. This visit allowed us to have a different look at this place. Thanks to the guide who knew how to make the explanations entertaining and fun!

Modern echo of the original Arch d Triumph. - This tour was not excellent. I liked the guide, but I think he might’ve been a last-minute substitute. Even if he had been great, though, I wouldn’t do this tour unless you’ve done absolutely everything else in Paris. I was staying in La Défense on business so it made sense for me. There are some unique modern buildings, including one that is a modern take on the Arch d’ Triumph, which you can see all the way from this high vantage point.
