Bonjour! Aloïs here, I live in Paris since 16 years and still fall in love with my city everyday, come on a tour with me to experience Paris like a parisian. As a tour guide, my favorite thing is to point out the little details you may not have noticed and to explore lesser known places. A detour out of the beaten path next to the most famous monuments takes you to unexpected gems. Of course I will take you to the big sights, Notre-dame, le sacré-coeur, la tour Eiffel, le Louvre, and for each show you where to look at them from and tell the stories behind. We are so lucky to live in a city rich of thousands years of history: let's explore together the antic ruins in the Latin quarter, the medieval mansions in Marais, or the former ateliers of Montmartre's famous painters. When we are together I am flexible and adapt to your likings :) Let me know your passions and I might show you something special. Or we can stop for café and delicious food wherever, I will show you the good spots. Last but not least my passion for history and beauty is related to my other job, as a personal stylist. I take my clients to the best stores in towns whether new or vintage and give them tips and tricks to look their most fabulous. I also published 3 books on fashion styling and fashion history. Want to discover Paris with me? Book one of my tour or drop me a message and let me know what you would like to do. Bises de Paris, Aloïs - IFM (French institute of Fashion) - Bachelor degree in humanities I can not guide into museums.

Overview of your Paris tour

Did you know that « marais » means « swamp » in French ? Hardly a very glamourous beginning for a neighborhood now known as the epicenter of Parisian fashion ! Walk the Marais with me, a personal stylist and fashion published author, and learn how it took its shape, from the magnificence of the aristocrats' masquerades to the clothing manufacturers of the 20th century. Let me introduce you to the past and present stories of fashion boutiques and brands. Learn about the concept of « couture pastries, » or immerse yourself in the history of French perfume. Discover the most stylish boutiques of the moment and learn why they are so successful. After this tour, you'll be fluent in fashion ^^

Alois' fashion tour was a highlight for our whole family. We learned about Marais, stepped into hidden streets, shops, and churches we wouldn't have found alone, and by the end felt like we were out with a friend. Alois customized our tour for our needs and styles and whenever we asked 'where can we find..." she always had just the place. She helped negotiate prices in vintage stores, seek shelter from the rain, and find excellent crepes/sweets. We talked family, history, and culture. A MUST!

Alois took my daughter and I on a lovely tour of the Marais district. We focused on fashion and vintage clothing shops. She knew many secret local shops, their owners and styling tips. She was very knowledgeable about vintage fashion and local influencers. Loved meeting Frannfyne and her inspirational store. Thank you ❤️

Aloïs is a true Parisian fashionista, with all the attitude, knowledge and style that entails. She was an excellent guide, in different ways, for my teen daughter and myself as we learned how to navigate the Marais, its boutiques and vintage shops. She was patient with our naiveté and choosiness, and did a fine job catering to our interests and price point. I wish I'd known about her books before taking the tour - read them! My daughter and I put what we learned from her to use the rest of our trip.

Very friendly guide! She lead us to very nice places, avoided crowded areas and told us a lot about different places we crossed. We had an interesting tour!!

Aloïs took us all over the Marais to all kinds of shops: clothing, tea, chocolate, antiques, home goods. It was fun seeing and learning about the area. We also learned the history of some of the shops.
