Bonjour! I’m Anna — a Paris-based guide, a multilingual mom, and a certified history addict with a soft spot for love stories, crime tales, and croissants (not always in that order). Educated across Europe and the U.S.A., I’ve collected diplomas, languages, and international experience. After a decade in Paris, I’ve learned its moods, myths, secrets, and hidden gems. Now I share them with curious travelers who want more than “Instagram Paris.” Whether we’re wandering through the Marais chasing medieval knights, strolling bohemian Montmartre in the steps of artists, or discussing which pastry truly rules Paris (spoiler: still pain au chocolat), my tours are designed to be fun, engaging, and full of stories. AND FOR KIDS ALSO:) If history isn’t normally your thing — don’t worry. I’m a mom and a teacher, my tours are flexible, customized, and paced to match your interests, whether you’re a family, a couple, a solo traveler, or a group of friends. Let’s turn your Paris trip into a story worth telling — one you’ll remember long after you’ve returned home.
