NEW! The French Influence in Philadelphia: Covert contracts, culture, and cuisine

$50.00

The Michelin Guide declared Philadelphia “the Frenchest city in America.” Join us on this two-hour walking tour to find out why. We will look at the historical, cultural, architectural, and culinary French imprints that enrich the city of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection. This 1.2 mile walk begins at “The Thinker” in front of the Rodin Museum, 22nd and the Parkway, and ends at the French Quarter, Rittenhouse Square, 18th and Walnut Streets. For lunch (on your own), several restaurants in the neighborhood offer a French-inspired cuisine: Chez Colette (at the Sofitel Hotel), Parc or Rouge on 18th Street at Rittenhouse Square, or Paris Baguette (more modest), between 17th and 18th on Chestnut.
