Hello and welcome! Since 2015, I’ve had the pleasure of guiding travelers from all over the world through the magical streets of Paris. Born just a stone’s throw from the Palace of Versailles, I’ve always been passionate about French history—and Paris in particular. I know this magnificent city like the back of my hand and love sharing its hidden stories and secrets. After spending a few inspiring years in Spain, I returned to Paris to study Literature at the Sorbonne. Alongside my studies, I also pursued my other great passion: music. Today, I’m proud to call myself both a professional singer and a licensed tour guide. I offer a wide range of historical tours in Paris and beyond. Whether you’d like a relaxed walking tour, a journey using the city’s excellent public transport, or a premium experience with a private driver, I can tailor each visit to suit your pace and preferences. So come along as we explore Paris together—its iconic landmarks, lesser-known corners, and timeless charm. I’ll take you to all my favorite spots, and maybe even a few places only locals know. À bientôt in Paris! Marc Candes - Official Licensed Guide-Conferencier - Bachelor degree in French Literature and History at Sorbonne University, Paris - Guide in Paris since 2015

Join me in uncovering one of Paris's most famous yet surprisingly misunderstood landmarks—the Champs-Élysées avenue. From its creation in the 17th century as a tree-lined promenade to its transformation into a hub of luxury shops in the 20th century, this iconic boulevard has been graced by countless illustrious figures. Urban developments over the years have enhanced its beauty, cementing its place in Parisian history as a backdrop in numerous films and novels. Let's walk in the footsteps of history's notable men and women, exploring the essential landmarks that define the charm of Paris's most beautiful avenue. To cap off our journey, we'll ascend the Arc de Triomphe for its breathtaking panoramic views—a fitting conclusion to a truly unforgettable experience.
We were shocked by how much we did not know about the Arc de Triomphe. We constantly peppered Marc with questions and his patience with us was unwavering. We especially enjoyed the view from the top. Looking around Paris and understanding the different neighborhoods was very meaningful. Marc is a fantastic host and guide. We highly recommend Marc. We will book tours with Marc on our next trip.
We toured with Marc through the gardens, The Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower. He was very knowledgeable, kind, patient and a wonderful tour guide. He brought us to the top of the Arc de Triomphe and he took some wonderful family pictures of us. He was also wonderful with my autistic adult son, and it was a great experience all the way around. We highly recommend Marc! Five stars
We enjoyed the historical walk and ascent to the top of the Arc. Merci!
Marc was a wonderful tour guide. Charming, knowledgeable, great with all ages of our group. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and our friends who reside in Paris will certainly seek to have Marc provide tours for their future visitors! Thank you, Marc!
Marc was a very knowledgeable guide and engaging with our children. We all enjoyed the tour and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
Marc has a nice path for the tour laid out. He has a wealth of knowledge which he shared with us. He engaged our two grandchildren along the way. He took pictures of us in front of various sites with our devices. He was very good in accommodating our needs - my wife and I have mobility issues - by arranging assistance to get to the top of the Arc de Triomphe and guiding us through the metro back to our hotel.
We will meet next to Concorde Square or anywhere you prefer in central Paris and walk up the beautiful Champs-Elysées Avenue (approximatively 1. 5 miles) to arrive to the Arc de Triomphe and enjoy the view from the top. Here are some of the monuments you will see along the way : ► The Concorde Square ► The National Assembly ► The Tuileries Gardens ► The Élysée Palace ► The Grand and Petit Palais ► The Pont Alexandre III ► Les Invalides ► Avenue Montaigne ► Arc de Triomphe ► . . . And more !
