Bonjour, my name is Michael and I'm a fun university English professor who fell in love with Paris. I've been in France for 12 years. When I first arrived from my native Jamaica, France was a culture shock. It's true it can be hard sometimes to navigate and waiters can be rude and it took me a while to understand the codes, but now I consider myself 100% French and would love to share my experience with you as we explore this beautiful city together. Not only do I want to take you to the famous sights and help you take the best possible photos, but I will also take you to lesser-known neighborhoods with beautiful markets, bakeries, and cheese shops. I'll share my favorite addresses with you as well: crêpes, macaroons, and everything sweet the city has to offer! I will guide you through the most essential historical and architectural sights, so you get some context, but without this being a boring class. Expect my tours to be fun, dynamic, and interactive. I look forward to meeting you soon in Paris. MA in Applied Foreign Languages (English/ Spanish) with specialisation in International Project Negotiation BA in Applied Foreign Languages (english/ Spanish) I cannot guide inside museums, so for that kind of tour, I would suggest you book one of my licensed colleagues instead and book me for outdoor and city tours. Thanks!

The idea behind this tour is to learn about Paris and sample some of the best desserts Paris is famous for at the same time. Macarons are traditionally considered the highest form of French pastry, due to the difficulty involved in getting them out right. We'll taste some of the best ones the city of Paris has to offer and you'll be able to decide for yourselves which ones you prefer, from the traditional one flavour ones like pistachio and vanilla, to the more sophisticated ones like the ispahan, consisting of a combination of rose, lychee and raspberry. You'll also be able to sample other types of french pastries and chocolates as well as ice cream from the historic Bertillon house along the way.
We will be hopping from Patisseries to Macaron shops for you to sample the crème de la crème of Paris' desserts. Ideally, I would suggest doing this tour in the Marais and Les Halles areas, but we can find the same selection of delicious bakeries on the left bank, should you prefer that. The itinerary is flexible, for any changes please let me know.
