Rediscover Back Bay through the French Lens

Interested in discovering French inspiration in the Back Bay? Join guide Steven Galante for a one-hour evening stroll. Steven will conduct a pleasant and informative visit of selected parts of the Back Bay. The tour will begin at the French Library and finish at Copley Square. Along the way, we will stop to note interesting sites, many of which reflect long-standing ties between Boston and France. Steven is looking forward to answering your questions!

This tour will be led in French.

Please be ready in front of the Center at 5:20 PM so the tour can begin at 5:30 PM sharp. Please note that, due to the coronavirus, the Center's building remains closed to the public. There will be no access to the bathroom. Bring your own bottled water, and be sure to wear a pair of comfortable shoes! We require face covering during the tour.
