Petit Paris: Traces of French Berlin

Join the Berlin Ladies’ Art & Culture Club for a new kind of walking tour — where Berlin meets France.

We’ll trace the footsteps of French culture in Berlin: from the Huguenots who shaped Gendarmenmarkt and Französische Straße, to the French Gymnasium and the Institut Français on Ku’damm. Along the way, we’ll talk about French artists, writers, and women who left their mark on Berlin, as well as the influence of French fashion and café culture.
This is not a history lecture — it’s a slow walk full of stories, perspectives, and discoveries. We’ll pause at a French café for a taste of joie de vivre and end the walk reflecting on Berlin’s “Petit Paris” spirit — past and present.
🕰️ Duration: approx. 2.5-3 hours
📍 Route: Mitte → Ku’damm (all outdoors, no museum entry)
💗 As always, the Berlin Ladies’ Art & Culture Club walks are about connection, conversation, and seeing the city with new eyes.
💶 Participation Fee: 35 EUR
📌 RSVP required

✨ The walking tour is curated and guided by Yuliya.
