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.

Julien and his tour were fabulous! He is sweet, knowledgeable, easy to listen to and talk to, and explained just the right amount about St G de P. We had treats at delicious desert places and when we wanted to stop to buy he was easy going and helpful.

Merci Julien for a wonderful tour of Saint Germain. Your itinerary combined a great walk, history of the area and visits to try delicious food at places that checked off so many boxes we on our list for this trip to Paris. We very much enjoyed our time with you and highly recommend taking this tour to others. Thanks for showing us this wonderful part of the city.

This was a great walking tour to see a cool side of Paris not inundated by the typical tourist spots! There are stops at some quaint little food shops for sweat treats (mainly) and some charcuterie, but don’t go into this expecting that you’re getting a lot of food. Julien, our guide, was knowledgeable and communicated excellently about the history and significance of the local neighborhoods we visited. Highly recommend!

Julien was a fantastic tour guide. He took us through the entire St. Germain/Latin quarter area and got us oriented to the City and it's history. The added bonus of tasting some great food along the way was also much appreciated. Highly recommend his tour.
