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.

I would highly recommend Emmanuel taking you on a walking tour around the city. Emmanuel is very knowledgeable and VERY excited about his city. You would see Paris in a way you have never experienced it before with a person who loves his city and notices every interesting detail. I would recommend taking his tour at the beginning of your trip, so you have a few days to explore the city afterwards and visit the spots Emmanuel recommended and also notice all the little details Emmanuel pointed out you.

A great afternoon exploring Paris. Even though we live here and had been to the Marais several times, Emmanuel showed us many things that we had not seen before. Fascinating for both the adults and the children. Thanks for a great moment.

Great tour seeing so many sites one would likely never know. Emmanuel is an engaging guide and passionate about the history of Paris with entertaining stories. As a plus he provided a map of Paris where he personally marked places to see all over Paris with helpful hints .

Emmanuel J was absolutely superb. I recommend him most highly. Emmanuel is extremely knowledgeable, full of fascinating details on a wide range of topics and keeps the tour lively and fun. He was so terrific that none of us even minded the rain — now that’s a truly great guide! He’s the kind of person who goes the extra mile to please you. After the tour he sent us all additional information on what we asked questions about and recommendations tailor-made for our interests. And because he speaks so vividly and with such enthusiasm, you really get to see Paris through his eyes.

If you are looking for a boring basic tour of Paris's main attractions, this tour is not for you. Emanuel took us on an amazingly detailed tour of things we would otherwise walk by and miss or flat out ignore all together. His passion for history and architecture was a pure joy. He even gave us a detailed city map where he circled and briefly described other Paris "gems". The title of this tour is "Hidden gems of Paris" and that is exactly what Emanuel delivered. Sorry the weather forced us to bail early.

What a fun morning- even though we had to cut it short due to travel issues, Emmanuel made our visit to Le Marais interesting and we saw places we never would have found on our own, Plus his engaging sense of humor made this tour all the more enjoyable.

Your Paris tour itinerary

We meet at the "Saint-Paul's subway stop to discover a very famous and very interesting neighborhood called "Le Marais". We will see Victor Hugo's house in our beloved Vosges's square, the Jewish quarter and a part of the neighborhood that looks like a cute village with half-timbered houses from the Middle-Age. We will see the oldest organ in Paris, the City Hall (the place where the word strike was invented and the execution's place in Middle-Age) Then we will go in front of the famous "Notre Dame de Paris" and the oldest clock and the narrowest street in the city. I will show you my favourite street in Paris, full of art galleries. As a final firework, we will discover the first cafe(1686!) in the world! Some really famous people used to go to this place: Victor Hugo, Roosevelt, Napoleon. . . So let us walk in the footsteps of these men of History! The itinerary is flexible, for any changes please let me know.
