Your Belgian Guide in Paris. I won't just show you Paris — I'll help you understand the French. I'm Frederic, a licensed guide and former Cultural Tourism lecturer at the Sorbonne. I moved to Paris from Belgium in 2012, which means I see the city as a local and as an outsider: I know where Parisians actually live, and I will explain to you why they do things the way they do. My private walks take you through Le Marais, Île de la Cité and more district under the radar, through stories of art, architecture, migrations and food. Every tour can be tailored to you. I don't do museums or the Eiffel Tower — plenty of guides do that very well. Rather, I'll take you where the real Paris happens. Tours in English, French, Spanish, and Dutch. 4.9★ from 31 travellers. 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

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!
