Welcome to Historic America & UCPlaces' audio bicycling tour of revolutionary Paris! I'm your tour guide, Aaron Killian. Today we'll be biking through the revolutionary landscape of the city of light! We will wend our way through grand plazas, admire towering columns, enjoy the city's magnificent landmarks, and then – look beyond it all – to uncover the bloody, boisterous, world changing historical events which took place on this grand stage. We can't wait to share the revolutionary story of Paris with you. Vive la revolution! To get started, make your way to the Velib Metropole bike sharing station on the southern edge of the Place de la Bastille just off the Boulevard Bordon. It should be easy to find because it's a short walk from the metro and close by the public toilets. How convenient! I'll see you there in a flush to begin our ride.
