For a day, we'll visit the French concession and the Bund district, passing by the historical places (old hotel, residence, park, church, river, historic bridge), Shanghai's must-see art and cultural spaces, a very typical Shanghai restaurant + surprises:

A beautiful walk in the French concession with historical places that have strong ties with France:

- Cathay Theater,
- InterContinental Shanghai Ruijin
- Sun Yat-sen's old home
- Saint Nicholas Church
- Shanghai Science Hall: the former French Sports Club
- Fuxing Park: It was the largest park in Shanghai. The park was designed in a French style, with a lake, fountains, pavilions, and flower beds. Kind of like Luxembourg Park.
* You'll find small shops or cafes during our walk.

Lunch at a typical Shanghai restaurant, where you'll try most of the dishes representing Shanghai.

- Rockbund Art Museum (Architect: David Chipperfield): The building that houses the Rockbund Art Museum was originally that of the Royal Asiatic Society (RAS). Home to one of China's first modern museums, this building was once the most influential place for academic exchange and public education in the Far East.
- Check out the architecture of the Rockbund neighborhood
- Stroll along the Suzhou River
- Enjoy a beautiful walk on the Bund while visiting the historic buildings: To the west of this promenade stand 52 buildings of various architectural styles, including Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical. It's often called "the museum of buildings."

*the tour can be adapted according to your needs and tastes.

The guide has worked for more than ten years in the art and culture scene. She's a Shanghai native who speaks perfect French and English, and knows Shanghai very well, including all the small alleys, different neighborhoods, and the city's history.
