🔍️The Former French Concession was a foreign concession area in Shanghai, China from 1849 until 1943. For much of the 20th century, this area remained the premier residential and retail district of Shanghai. It is known for its European-style architecture, tree-lined streets, trendy cafes, bars, and boutiques, and its rich artistic and literary heritage. Despite re-development over the last few decades, the area retains a distinct character, and is a popular tourist destination.

Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
