Ohlala! Here's your favourite Belgian guide in Paris! Hi, I’m Frederic—a Belgian licensed guide and former Cultural Tourism lecturer at the Sorbonne University, based in Paris since 2012. With a professional background in the arts, architecture, and literature, I specialize in alternative walking tours of Paris that reveal the hidden side of the city. If you're looking to escape the tourist crowds and discover authentic Parisian neighborhoods, I’ll take you to the places locals love—full of history, creativity, and charm. My tours explore themes like urbanism, contemporary art, literature, migrations, and French culture – all delivered with warmth, depth, and storytelling. As a foreigner, I have discovered Paris through the districts I was living in, which were the first ones I started to guide through. I was -and still am- a foreigner, yet also a localer, up to show you where to go and what to do, and at the same time, understand you like no Frenchmen would! :-) My tours are perfect for curious minds, return visitors, and anyone who wants to connect with the real Paris. À bientôt ! Please note all my tours can be customized and adapted to your needs. - Licensed guide - 10+ years living in Paris - Masters degree in Translation (English-Spanish) - Masters degree in Social Communication - 10+ years experience teaching (English and Cultural Tourism at the Sorbonne University) - 5+ years experience guiding in Paris - Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) level 2 in wine - Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) level 1 in sake - Civic Prevention and Rescue Level 1 PLEASE NOTE: - I am not a driver.

Step Back in Time in the Cobbled Alleys of Provins!
Overview of your Paris tour
Provins, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a charming medieval town that once was France's 3rd most important city. With impressive fortified walls and gates, the town boasts up to 58 Historical Monuments -a unique mix of Romanesque, Gothic, and Classic architecture. Wandering through the cobbled streets and timber-framed houses, you'll discover hidden gems full of mystery and history. As the former capital of the Counts of Champagne, Provins played a vital role in trading fairs from the 11th to 13th centuries. Today, it remains one of Paris's best-kept secrets, easily accessible by regional train (only 1h30 ride). Explore Provins' unique gastronomy and craftsmanship (with an 800 year-old tradition of cultivating the rose) and underground tunnels and passages. Step back in time and experience the vibe of the Counts of Champagne and Joan of Arc for a day trip to Provins! Let's explore together one of the best-preserved medieval towns and find unique picture-perfect sceneries for your best holiday surprise!
