Bonjour, et Bienvenue à Paris ! Whether it's your first time in the capital or not, whether you are traveling alone or with your family, for 2H or a week, let me welcome you and be your guide in my beautiful city. --About me-- My name is Simon, I was born and raised in Paris! I am a very curious person, and passionate about History (French and World), Art, and Sciences. As a student, in 2013, I co-founded my school's Arts Bureau and started giving city tours. I continued this activity on the side for several years, until Covid happened. I decided at this time to become a full-time guide, and have never been happier! I pursued another Master, and a professional licence to become a qualified guide ! Today, I have the privilege of doing what I love every day : uncovering fascinating stories, exploring hidden corners, designing customized tours, and sharing Paris’ magic with visitors from around the world. Do you want to visit a particular monument? Discover secret photo spots? Taste an authentic French croissant? Or simply enjoy a coffee while chatting about Paris? I’ll take you to the city’s best-kept secrets and iconic highlights alike. Every tour is fully customizable, built around your interests and your schedule, so you get the perfect Paris experience. We will build the tour together, to make sure you and your family will have a great time during your time in Paris. --Professional highlights-- ○ Professional licence : Tour guide (2023) ○ Master in Cultural & Scientific communication (2022) ○ Engineering degree (2017) ○ Continuing education in history of art from French guiding associations and the School of the Louvre. In 2025/26, I'm taking the following classes at the Louvre : Egyptian epigraphy, Shadow & Light in art, Life & Death in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and a focus on Medieval times. --Booking info-- Please contact me before booking any tour to discuss your plans. I can guide you through many areas of Paris, including those not listed on the platform. Whether it’s Sainte-Chapelle, Montmartre, Le Marais, the covered passages, Versailles, or niche museums, let me know your interests and I’ll craft your perfect itinerary. Tours are generally limited to 6 participants, mainly due to ticketing constraints. Please get in touch if your group is larger. (Some tours are currently on hold, as tickets rules changed in 2026 (Louvre, Sainte-Chapelle), and became quite expensive.. If you are interested, of course you can contact me !) Let’s create your unforgettable Paris experience together. Share your dreams for the trip, and I’ll make them come alive. Be my guest, Simon

Simon was a spectacular guide. He catered the tour to meet our needs, as we had been on an evening tour the night before and didn't want to duplicate. He took us to Montmarte, including the Sacre Couer Basilica and its 292 circular steps to the very top, Abbesses and then the Metro to the Musée d'Orsay, where Simon taught us so much about French impressionist art. Simply put: an outstanding day with a wonderful guide. I highly recommend.
We were only in Paris for 12 hours and wanted to see it all! Simon was extremely flexible in coming up with an itinerary that would maximize our time. He took great care in getting to know our goals and capabilities as a group of various ages. We were blown away at his ease of getting us to all of the highlights while proving plenty of time for photos and questions. Our favorite part was his in depth knowledge of the art and history in the Louvre! If you are considering booking a guide look no further!
If we could bottle Simon's essence, the world would be a better place! Simon was a wonderful guide-so knowledgeable! He took a lot of time emailing me beforehand so he could completely customized our tour for us and I can't imagine a day in Paris being anything more interesting or fun! Simon is a natural at this-he's open to all questions and he goes out of his way to make v us happy and comfortable! And when he makes a suggestion for a restaurant, take him at his word! It will be the best you ever had!
