Bonjour, I am Julien from Paris. With a profound passion for my city and an extensive background in the Food and Beverage industry, I have dedicated many years to consulting for various hotel and restaurant groups. My expertise lies in strategically developing and expanding their outlets within the vibrant Parisian market. As a true Parisian at heart, I sought to deepen my connection with the city by undertaking a comprehensive training program at the Museum of the History of Paris, the renowned Musée Carnavalet. This experience equipped me with an in-depth understanding of the city's rich history and geography. Having honed the art of Parisian living, I am enthusiastic about sharing my insights and love for the city. Inspired by this passion, I have decided to offer unique tours that unveil the most elegant neighborhoods of Paris from a perspective that blends history, culture, and, above all, the quintessential Parisian lifestyle and cuisine. My tours are designed to provide an immersive experience, allowing you to explore Paris like a local, accompanied by a knowledgeable guide and a connoisseur of the latest gastronomic, cultural, and urban trends. Join me as we discover the hidden gems and culinary delights that make Paris an enchanting city from the inside. I look forward to sharing the magic of my city with you, making your visit an unforgettable journey through the heart and soul of Paris. - Strong expertise on the french Food & Beverage market - Extensive training course in Paris history and culture - Senior consultant for hospitality business I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside museums, castles, and some historical monuments.
