Hello and welcome! Since 2015, I’ve had the pleasure of guiding travelers from all over the world through the magical streets of Paris. Born just a stone’s throw from the Palace of Versailles, I’ve always been passionate about French history—and Paris in particular. I know this magnificent city like the back of my hand and love sharing its hidden stories and secrets. After spending a few inspiring years in Spain, I returned to Paris to study Literature at the Sorbonne. Alongside my studies, I also pursued my other great passion: music. Today, I’m proud to call myself both a professional singer and a licensed tour guide. I offer a wide range of historical tours in Paris and beyond. Whether you’d like a relaxed walking tour, a journey using the city’s excellent public transport, or a premium experience with a private driver, I can tailor each visit to suit your pace and preferences. So come along as we explore Paris together—its iconic landmarks, lesser-known corners, and timeless charm. I’ll take you to all my favorite spots, and maybe even a few places only locals know. À bientôt in Paris! Marc Candes - Official Licensed Guide-Conferencier - Bachelor degree in French Literature and History at Sorbonne University, Paris - Guide in Paris since 2015
