Hi, I’m Thomas, born and raised Parisian. For over a decade, I’ve been passionate about uncovering the stories behind Paris’s rich historical and artistic heritage. Every street, artwork, and monument here holds layers of meaning, and my fascination began right on my doorstep. Since the age of seventeen, I’ve traveled extensively across Europe and Asia, deepening my understanding of art and history. I love sharing these insights with curious visitors eager to explore Paris and its global influence. Over the past eight years, I’ve dedicated myself to becoming a licensed tour guide, earning university degrees in History, Art History, and Guiding. After years of experience as a heritage interpreter and museum educator, I now lead tours in both English and French, helping visitors, whether first-timers or seasoned travelers, discover the many facets of Paris and France. As a local, I know the city inside out, past and present. My goal is to bring Paris to life through engaging stories, entertaining anecdotes, and informative tours that reveal the city’s best-kept secrets.

The Île de la Cité is the very heart of Paris, where the city’s history began. On this tour, you’ll discover how Paris was born on this island and how each political regime transformed it into the place we see today. You’ll hear stories of medieval kings, the French Revolution, and the Empire. Find out why Notre-Dame, home to the Crown of Thorns, stands here and is the most visited site in the city. This tour will show you that the Notre-Dame neighborhood has much more to offer than just the Cathedral, including a Kings' Palace and prison, a royal square, and the city’s oldest stone bridge.
- Notre-Dame cathedral (OUTSIDE ONLY) - Sainte-Chapelle (outside) - Conciergerie (outside / inside if you ask for it (I need to buy the tickets myself ) - Pont au Change - Place Dauphine - Pont-neuf Please note: With the new rules banning most private guided tours inside Notre-Dame starting July 1, 2026, I will no longer be able to guide visitors inside the cathedral. Feel free to contact me if you wish to add anything to your tour and see how we can personalize it together.
