The book of Galatians stands as a passionate defense of the gospel of Jesus Christ. In this letter, the Apostle Paul proclaims that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone—truths that remain essential for the church today.
During this five-day study tour, we will explore key themes from Galatians while taking in the rich history and beauty of Paris, the City of Light. As we visit iconic landmarks, our study will remind us that there is no other gospel than the one revealed in Scripture, deepening our understanding of God’s Word and strengthening our faith in Christ.

About Ligonier Tours
One of the best ways you can learn about a person or even an event is being there—to be on site. We can certainly learn from reading and studying. We can even create the scene in our mind’s eye. But nothing brings a person or an event to life like being there. Ligonier Tours takes you to the places where significant events occurred, events that have shaped history. You can literally walk in the footsteps of our heroes of the past, of Luther, of Calvin, of Jonathan Edwards. You will meet these figures in ways you have never met them before.
Ligonier’s Teaching Fellows and other ministry leaders serve as your guides as you explore these important sites. On these tours, you’ll have time with these trusted teachers over a meal or at the sites along the journey. You will also have rich times of fellowship with your fellow travelers, meeting kindred spirits and making friendships.
Ligonier Tours brings the past to life, they serve to encourage us as disciples in our own day, and they offer us reminders that we are not alone, but that we are on our pilgrim journey together.
