About
Snax is proud to be participating in Culture Days this year and for thousands of years, dogs have walked beside us—as hunters, guardians, healers, and loyal companions. This tour celebrates their journey through history and how their roles (and snacks!) have evolved over time.
Join us for a relaxed and dog-friendly stroll through Paris as we explore the fascinating history of our four-legged companions—from royal lapdogs to heroic working breeds and everything in between. 🐶
We’ll meet at The Wincey Mills, wander through Lions Park, and loop back—all while stopping along the way to share stories about the evolving role of dogs in human life. We’ll even touch on how canine diets have changed over time and why that matters today.
🕐 Approx. 1 hour -easy to moderate terrain
🐕 On-leash Dogs welcome (and encouraged!)
🍖 Each dog receives a free SNAX treat at the end—or to take home for later.
💰 This event is Free to attend.
Perfect for families, dog lovers, or anyone curious about the powerful bond we’ve shared with dogs through the ages. Though we will mainly be on a path we may stray off onto some grassy areas but this walk is meant to be accessible to most.
