Rude B’s Tour Paris – Free Walking Tour with a Twist

Experience Paris beyond the postcards. The Rude Bastard’s Free Walking Tour Paris takes you through the city’s most iconic locations – but with stories that are anything but traditional.

Forget polished history and polite storytelling. This is a funny and sassy walking tour in Paris where we dive into scandals, royal drama, revolutions, and the kind of chaos that shaped the city. Expect sarcasm, unexpected facts, and a guide who won’t sugarcoat anything.

A Free Walking Tour in Paris… But Not Like the Others

There are plenty of free walking tours in Paris. Most will take you past the same landmarks and tell you the same safe stories. This one doesn’t.

On the Rude Bastard’s tour of Paris, we focus on what really makes Paris interesting – the messy parts. The betrayals, the executions, the drama, and the moments where history went completely off the rails.

If you’re looking for a free walking tour in Paris that actually makes you laugh (and maybe question humanity a little), you’re in the right place. The Rude B’s Walking Tour of Paris is a great option if you want to explore the city in a fun and different way.

What You’ll See on This Walking Tour of Paris

We start in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, one of the oldest parts of the city – a place full of stories that are far less romantic than they look. From there, we move toward Notre-Dame, uncovering the strange, chaotic and sometimes ridiculous events that happened in its shadow.

Along the way, expect funny stories about:

  • royal scandals and questionable decisions;
  • the chaos of the French Revolution;
  • public executions and the guillotine;
  • assassinations and political drama;
  • bizarre moments from Parisian history.

We cross the Seine into Île de la Cité, where much of the city’s most dramatic history unfolded, and finish at Pont Neuf. This is where your guide will happily point you toward the Louvre and Eiffel Tower and let you figure things out from there.

Things to Do in Paris at Night (or Anytime)

Paris has no shortage of things to do – museums, landmarks, cafés and endless places to explore (check out our Paris recommendations page for more info). But if you’re looking for something more interactive, a walking tour in Paris is one of the best ways to experience the city.

This free walking tour offers something different: a mix of sightseeing, storytelling and humor that turns a simple walk into an experience. Whether it’s your first time in Paris or your fifth, it’s a chance to see the city from a completely different angle.
