Description

We are locals from Paris (not transplants!), and we introduce you to the Paris that we love.

Our tours are intimate by design, so we stay engaged and attentive to everyone individually. Solo travelers especially feel at home with us.

Paris with a Parisian, but of course!

We all had that moment once, young, restless, and convinced that the world needed changing. The Left Bank was built on that feeling.

Explore the picturesque medieval streets that shaped art, literature, and rebellion for centuries. Stand where ideas stirred revolutions, in neighborhoods still alive with student energy today. Discover cafés that fueled debate and creativity, places where writers reshaped the world over strong black coffee.

From the Sorbonne and the Panthéon to the Luxembourg Gardens, trace the footsteps of Hemingway and Kerouac; revisit the worlds of Cyrano de Bergerac and Picasso. Along the way: art-house cinemas, historic bookshops, quiet courtyards, and cafés where generations of Parisians came of age.

Hot weather comfort: on hot days, we adapt our routes, stay in shade whenever possible, make regular water stops, and provide hand fans for guests.

A very nice intimate informative tour

There were three of us on the tour which stoll went ahead. We started at Notre Dame and ended at the Sorbonne. Along the way we saw a baptism and Romanian church service. The guide was informative and well orhanised. He engaged well as we spoke about his life in the Latin Quarter and his love for cinema. Most enjoyable.

The best tour in Paris

Audrey made this tour the absolute best experience we have had of Paris so far! Her knowledge of architecture and culture is impressive, and her attitude is cordial. She showed us many interesting places like the Sorbonne and Notre-Dame, but also hidden gems like Saint Julian Church, medeival streets, and The Museum of Middle Ages. She answered all our questions and we forgot about the cold weather and enjoyed the experience. We recommend the tour wholeheartedly! Thank you, Audrey!
