Bonjour, je suis Mathilde! French by birth, foodie by nature, and storyteller by passion! I'm a licensed Paris guide with a big love for cheese, art, old stones, and funny anecdotes. Originally from beautiful Normandy, I studied history and law before becoming a journalist. After living five years in Vietnam, I came back to Paris with an even stronger curiosity for people, culture... and food, of course. My tours are a mix of local life, hidden gems, and delicious discoveries. As an official guide-conférencière, I can also take you inside the city's great museums and monuments. Art is one of my greatest passions, and I love revealing the stories behind the masterpieces: the artists, the scandals, and the little details most visitors walk right past. I won't just show you Paris: I'll help you understand it, taste it, and feel it. Whether you're into royal scandals, croissant trivia, masterpieces with a secret, or quiet corners no one tells you about, I've got stories and spots just for you. Every person is unique, so every tour is unique too. That's why I always love getting to know the people I spend time with, even for just a few hours, so I can make sure the experience is truly made for you, 100%. Let's walk, eat, laugh and learn together, and make your Paris stay truly unforgettable!

Walking Through History !
Overview of your Paris tour
Join me for a walk through the heart of Paris, where history, culture, and stunning architecture come together. We’ll start at Notre-Dame, which has finally reopened after years of restoration! You will learn about its incredible history, from its medieval origins to its grand reopening in 2024. From there, we’ll wander through the charming streets of Île de la Cité and the lively Latin Quarter, before finishing with a peaceful stroll through the Luxembourg Gardens.

We only had 3 hours in Paris. Mathilde met us right on time as our coach arrived from the port in Le Havre. We had requested as our primary objective to visit the renovated Notre Dame Cathedral. Mathilde was able to get us past the long line and was very informative with her explanations. We have been to Paris several times, but she was able to fill the remainder of our time with points of interest to us and got us back to our coach for our return drive Le Havre. Mathilde was very willing to tailer our tour to our needs. We would highly recommend her services.
