In this is the third walking tour of our America 250 The American Revolution in Paris series.

From Musée d’Orsay to Bourse de Commerce

This third walk takes up the story where the war left off, tracing the enduring ties between France and the young American republic. We begin at the Musée d’Orsay and Thomas Jefferson’s favorite view in Paris, then follow through the Tuileries to Hôtel de Coislin, where France formally recognized American independence. The walk ends at the Bourse de Commerce, whose surprising connection to both Franklin and Jefferson will be revealed on the day.
