Ohlala! Here's your favourite Belgian guide in Paris! Hi, I’m Frederic—a Belgian licensed guide and former Cultural Tourism lecturer at the Sorbonne University, based in Paris since 2012. With a professional background in the arts, architecture, and literature, I specialize in alternative walking tours of Paris that reveal the hidden side of the city. If you're looking to escape the tourist crowds and discover authentic Parisian neighborhoods, I’ll take you to the places locals love—full of history, creativity, and charm. My tours explore themes like urbanism, contemporary art, literature, migrations, and French culture – all delivered with warmth, depth, and storytelling. As a foreigner, I have discovered Paris through the districts I was living in, which were the first ones I started to guide through. I was -and still am- a foreigner, yet also a localer, up to show you where to go and what to do, and at the same time, understand you like no Frenchmen would! :-) My tours are perfect for curious minds, return visitors, and anyone who wants to connect with the real Paris. À bientôt ! Please note all my tours can be customized and adapted to your needs. - Licensed guide - 10+ years living in Paris - Masters degree in Translation (English-Spanish) - Masters degree in Social Communication - 10+ years experience teaching (English and Cultural Tourism at the Sorbonne University) - 5+ years experience guiding in Paris - Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) level 2 in wine - Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) level 1 in sake - Civic Prevention and Rescue Level 1 PLEASE NOTE: - I am not a driver.
