Hello there! I did a comercial for my tours on yt "manuchaco Are you ready to travel differently?" I am an actor. The last movie I worked for was with Halle Berry! I am part of the cast of "The Serpent Queen" on Starz. The first one was an american thriller called "Influencers". I will be also part of "Lupin". I'm madly in love with my city, my purpose on Earth is to make this love viral for this breathtaken city. More than tours I offer unique experiences. Art, History, french Culture, Architecture and Urbanism are just some of the highlights of my favourite Tours. I really love to show, avoiding the classic tourist spots, the best hidden gems off the beaten path around the city. . . that only with a local like me you can discover, as a friend who takes you for a stroll in his favorite places! I have really good skills in storytelling, especially when I am able to make a connection with our walk. My goal is to make your dream come true in the "city of lights", and to make your holidays more authentic, you can consider my tour as an introduction to the Parisian way of life. We have to keep in mind that Paris has 2000 years of History! It used to be a royal city, a capital of art, and a universal model for a modern city. Unfortunately, to modernize it, the almost medieval town has been erased, but something remained. . . ⚠️ I am NOT doing tour in national museum as Louvre, Versailles, war museum. . . ABOUT ME: My name is Emmanuel, you can call me Manu it is easier, I am french, and I was born in a tiny city surrounded by Loire Valley Castles, as Chambord, designed by Leonardo Da Vinci for the sharp Renaissance King François I. Maybe for this reason I am fond of french History and Architecture. It is more than a hobby or a job, it is an obsession! All my trips, visits, documentaries, books, and even discussions are related to, the roman empire, Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Art Nouveau (I also really love languages, cinema and travelling ). . . You have to be warned, You will feel a lot of passion during my tour! Recently, I was really lucky to be an extra in an american series called "The Serpent Queen" with Samantha Morton. I was a Renaissance gardener under Catherine de Medicis! On season 2 I was part of . . . oups! I cannot tell! On december 28th I was for the first time on TV for a french serie, I was a noble. It was really pleasant to have the impression to be part of french History. When I am watching a movie, I really enjoy watching "making of", during the shooting of the series, I felt like a kid going to DisneyWorld for the first time! I used to be a french teacher for foreigners for several years. I had over of 40 nationalities! I taught doctors, lawyers, and diplomats. At the beginning of the week, I had to show the city to my students, then I realized it was my favorite part of my work! because I really love to wander and discover new hidden buildings. -Bachelor's degree in History and linguistic -Master's degree in order to teach French for foreigners I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments or museums.

Overview of your Paris tour

tour's trailer on youtube : manuchaco "are you ready to travel in france differently" We'll meet front of Montparnasse for a TGV 1-Firstable, we will go to the most famous square in the old town, the "Plumereau" square, it is the medieval center of the city. From there, we will visit the narrow streets full of wonderful white stone houses (with that same stone they have built the famous castles of the Loire Valley ) and brick. I'll show you fairytale houses and tell you about the history of my city. 2-Then we will go towards the old "Martinopole" which was very touristic in the Middle Ages (Jerusalem od Occident in XIIth!) 3- We will discover the ruins of a wonderful Renaissance mansion, the house where Joan of Arc has received her armor and the most spooky part of the visit : "Le passage des cœurs navrés" (=medieval death row!), a passage from the Middle Ages and live the last moment of a prisonner before his execution in "Foire le Roi" square

Your Paris tour itinerary

- morning, Montparnasse train station to pick a bullet train (over of 186 MPH!) - 1h20 in the TGV, we will know each other and have a quick sum up about French history and architecture. - 4h walking tour in Tours, Capital of french kingdom during XVth century The architecture of the old part of the city of Tours is very interesting because we can imagine the life in Middle Age, just looking the name of the streets. The old part is divided in two parts : - The city that was created in Middle Age and the city created by Roman Empire"caesarodunum" (=Caesar's hill). Nowaday Tours is a very tiny city (16th) but it was very important in the past. - Tours's train station, designed by Victor Laloux (Orsay museum's architect) - TGV : 1h20, I will give you a bunch of tips about Paris - Montparnasse train station (evening)
