Hidden water & secret villages: A self-guided audio tour around Parc Montsouris

Paris Trip Overview

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

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!)
