Just in time for the Georgetown French Market, join Off the Mall Tours for a special Gallic-themed walking tour! France and Washington, DC have a very special connection, and Off the Mall Tours is offering a walking experience that will show the many ways in which our Gallic friends have influenced the neighborhood of Georgetown. This 1.5 hour walk introduces you to how Georgetown played host to a number of French influences, including the Revolutionary War hero General Marquis de Lafayette, the first French Ambassador to the City of Washington, the woman who introduced French cooking to American housewives, and more! It also occurs on the weekend of the Georgetown French Market, so after the tour, guests are encouraged to check out the market and try the many French influenced cafes in town. Tour begins at 2706 Olive St. NW and ends at the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and Dumbarton Avenue.
