Central Park Walking Tour in French with New York in French

This tour is guided in French only. The guides from New York in French are French expatriates who have lived in the city for years, and they spend the walk on how Central Park came to exist, how it has changed since, the films shot on its lawns and the long list of stories attached to it. Part of the tour covers why the park matters so much to New Yorkers, as a green space in one of the most built-up places anywhere. The rest is walking: the well-known sights such as Sheep Meadow, Bethesda Fountain, The Lake, Belvedere Castle and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, plus quieter corners that most visitors would not find on their own. Bring a camera. The park changes with the calendar, flowering in spring, deep green in summer, ochre and red in autumn and under snow in winter, and the tour runs through all of it. The meeting point is confirmed by New York in French a few days before your visit, and the tour ends at Grand Army Plaza, by the southeast corner of the park. The route is wheelchair and stroller accessible and suits all fitness levels. One booking covers up to 12 people. Gratuities and snacks are not included.
