Hi ! My name is Lucien and I have been a guide since 2018.
I was a school teacher and now I am a "Guide conférencier" : I have a guiding licence.

This allows me to guide you in the Louvre as in many other Parisian museums, such as the Musée d'Orsay, or my favorite, the Musée des Invalides.

I love history, architecture and art history.
I love Paris for its countless stories, impressive architecture and rich culture.
I would certainly like to tell you everything I know about the history of Paris! In fact, it will be hard to stop me!

I like to show you the most famous places in Paris but I will also try my best to show you Paris off the beaten track! My job is also to show you the real Paris and its real history: I will try to avoid the crowds as much as possible.
My expertise in the history of Paris is mainly in the historic center: I can do circuits like the Île de la Cité; the Latin quarter ; halls ; Marsh ; Saint Germain des Prés, Montmartre; a bunch of other things. . . But I also like to go to the flea market in St Ouen (I live nearby).

I specialize in the history of the city of paris and in its architectural and political evolution. And I love to dwell on the turbulent episodes of Paris, especially the many revolutions!

I do NOT : guide in the Eiffel tower, the catacombs, the Champs Elysées, and I try to avoid Montmartre in the week end . To be honest, I will feel useless there because you can go there easily by yourself. I consider my job is to show you things you won't be able to discover alone! ( But that's just a personal preference! If you really want we can arrange if you have a specific request).

If you request a personalized tour, I will be happy to prepare something for you!
I work hard to give you quality information. Also, I try to ask for a correct price based on the Guides Syndicate grid. I can include museum tickets if you ask me.

I do all my sightseeing on foot. I don't have a vtc license: please don't ask me to drive you! I think in Paris the best is always to walk during my tours. I also believe than using a car in Paris when you have a lot of other choices is a a waste of time and money and contribute to the pollution. Unless we do not have other immediate option, I will always recommend to thake the public transportation.

I am happy to adapt my work to children but I am not a babysitter : I'm a professional guide and I spent a lot of time preparing my tours, so please don't leave me your children to go for a walk on your side, it's not my job (yes it is already arrived but we had fun).

I'm not a personal shopper, but I'll be happy to recommend certain areas.

I'm not really a foodie, but I know a lot of delicious restaurants!

One last thing but quite important: I love Paris! For each local Paris is different.
But above all, Paris may be different than the city you expect. For example, for some Paris is the city of luxury and fashion. Not that much for me to be honest! So I will be perfect if you want to discover the history of this city and what is behind the postcard.

Master degree in Education Science
"Guide Conférencier" diploma : I can guide you in all national museums.

I usually don't drive in Paris and prefer to take the public transports.
Please if you send me a request be kind enough to answer my messages it is very important to me, even you are not interested.



The Louvre is without doubt the most famous museum in the world and also one of the largest. If his collection of works of art is immense, the place and the building itself have had a primordial role in the history of France since the Middle Ages.

However it is easy to get lost and visiting it can be a frustrating experience if you get lost in the crowd!

I started to visit the Louvre with my Dad since I was a little kid. I loved to go there by myself and to show its secret to my friends. Visiting the place is one of the reasons I became an official guide!

This is why I would be happy to guide you there, to present you some of the most famous works in the World, like the Venus of Milo, the Victory of Samothrace, paintings like the raft of the Medusa, the Liberty guiding the people . . . and the Mona Lisa.

The quarter of the Marais has a long past. From the Middle Ages, many mansions were built there for the aristocracy. After the Revolution, it was a neighborhood that became very poor that welcomed a large Jewish community.
Since the 1970s, the neighborhood has gone through a very gradual gentrification that has made it a very chic and trendy neighborhood. Monuments and historic buildings are very numerous in the very old streets, as well as fashionable shops and very good restaurants.

I love coming for a walk in this neighborhood. The narrow streets are full of charm. It's a real trip back in time to a time when Paris had not been upset by the major works of the second half of the 19th century. Indeed, it is one of the few neighborhoods that has changed so little since the 18th century.

This is why I would be delighted to share with you my love of this unique neighborhood!
