Bonjour, je suis Mathilde! French by birth, foodie by nature, and storyteller by passion! I'm a licensed Paris guide with a big love for cheese, art, old stones, and funny anecdotes. Originally from beautiful Normandy, I studied history and law before becoming a journalist. After living five years in Vietnam, I came back to Paris with an even stronger curiosity for people, culture... and food, of course. My tours are a mix of local life, hidden gems, and delicious discoveries. As an official guide-conférencière, I can also take you inside the city's great museums and monuments. Art is one of my greatest passions, and I love revealing the stories behind the masterpieces: the artists, the scandals, and the little details most visitors walk right past. I won't just show you Paris: I'll help you understand it, taste it, and feel it. Whether you're into royal scandals, croissant trivia, masterpieces with a secret, or quiet corners no one tells you about, I've got stories and spots just for you. Every person is unique, so every tour is unique too. That's why I always love getting to know the people I spend time with, even for just a few hours, so I can make sure the experience is truly made for you, 100%. Let's walk, eat, laugh and learn together, and make your Paris stay truly unforgettable!
