Dear guest, I am a friendly licensed guide offering tours in and around Paris. Originally from the countryside region of Burgundy (Make wine, not war!!!), I arrived in Paris 16 years ago. I first fell in love with the city… and then fell in love with a Parisian in a grey suit… and together we made… two little Parisians! Whether it is your first or tenth visit, the possibilities are endless. Monuments, museums, walking tours or a mix of all these. . . I can also arrange private transportation on request. I can start early and/or finish late. Feeling lost? I will guide you through the various options or tailor a tour from scratch based on your special interests. Guiding is not only about history. I like to give local colour to my tours, sharing the little details that make Paris so special, sharing food too, taking you to the hidden bistrot around the corner for an express French immersion!!! … à bientôt ! PS: What you want to see is not included in my list of tours (Marmottan museum, Orangerie, Opera House, Rodin Museum, etc…)? Please send me an email and I will arrange a tour. Licensed Guide - License n° 1475 142P Master's Degree in English Literature Technical Translation Degree I have my driving license but I am not a driver guide, I can arrange a driver for you if you would like a city tour or day excursion!

The dark side of Paris's oldest district
Overview of your Paris tour
If you like history but prefer to hear about the dark side of it, this tour is for you! The Marais is one of the oldest and best preserved district in Paris. It offers beautiful architecture, spectacular mansions, the quiet, majestic Place des Vosges, one of the very few pieces of the 12th century wall that surrounded the city. . . Ahh if walls could speak. . . Well, they would tell you all about a poisoner named la Brinvilliers, how the Sun King was thrown into the arms of a one-eyed middle aged woman who taught him "love", all about Henri 2nd's atrocious death, the assassination of the Duke of Orleans and its many consequences on French history. . . . You want to hear it all? Come and join me on this great tour! Our tour includes stories as well as general history of the district, its royal inhabitants as well as Jewish community history. (This tour can be adapted to children and families but please kindly let me know in advance!!)
Your Paris tour itinerary
We'll meet outside metro Station Pont Marie to start a 2. 30 hrs Walking Tour of Marais district, one of the oldest district of Paris located in the center-east of the capital, on the right bank of the Seine River. It is a very lively district filled with boutiques and restaurants and is especially popular on Sundays when the central streets are reserved for pedestrians. The Marais is the most famous Jewish quarter in Paris and in much of Europe, still maintaining strong traditions. The tour will end on rue des Archives (I can walk you back to the closest metro station, restaurant or a taxi station).
