Hello there! My name is Anne. Born and bred in Burgundy, I moved to Paris to attend university and never left again! I settled "Rive Gauche" (Left Bank of the Seine river) 25 years ago and after a career as a financial analyst for large international companies, I resumed my studies in History of Art at Paris' famous Ecole du Louvre. After graduating in 2014, I decided to become a private tour guide to share with international visitors my passion for Parisian culture, art and history. Just like Paris welcomed me all these years ago, I will welcome you to Paris as I know it: the City of Light but so much more indeed! Whether you're a first-timer or a regular visitor, I will take you off the beaten tracks and unveil the secrets of Paris' major and lesser-known landmarks. Together, we will stroll the streets just like a group of friends and I will be your very own guide as my tours are exclusively private. Each tour will be tailor-made to match your personal interests, at your own pace and with time to stand and stare. Just tell me what your idea of a dream trip is and I will make it happen! I offer half-day and full day tours which consist of cultural visits, relaxing walks and gourmet breaks in trendy places. In addition to the numerous must-sees, I will introduce you to my favorite hidden spots and we will wander Paris' secret nooks and crannies. Your tour will start and end wherever you fancy: your hotel, a café… Just let me know and I will be there! We will get around by foot and public transports as they are ideal for discovering Paris without getting stuck in traffic jams! *** IMPORTANT NOTICE: please make sure you double-check my availability calendar before sending me a request for tours less than 2 months away. If I am down as unavailable, my calendar will already be set which means I will not be able to offer you a tour. However, for tours more than 2 months away, I might have some flexibility. -BA in History of Arts from the Ecole du Louvre -BA in Oriental Languages and Civilizations I specialize in city walking tours (by foot or public transport) so I CANNOT offer: - Tours outside of Paris (Versailles, Giverny, Normandy). - Tours with a driver. - Airport pick-up. - Catacombes tours

Overview of your Paris tour
If you don't have time for a full day tour but still want to make the most of Paris in a short period of time, then this 3-hour tour is made for you! We would explore different areas, focus on Parisian life, experience the famous "metro". In half a day, you would feel the city like a native! Two main itineraries are available for this tour but I can also create a tailor-made tour to best suit your personal interests. • From the heart of the historic city, with Notre-Dame cathedral and the Louvre to modern Paris of the "Belle Epoque", with the Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Elysées • From Montmartre neighbourhood and the Sacré-Coeur basilica to the Ile de la Cité and Notre-Dame cathedral

Kathy P.Israel
This was our first visit to Paris and Anne was the perfect guide. In just half a day we hit all the famous sites. Anne shared detailed history about each one and went out of her way to teach us how to use the metro. She is so pleasant and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her!
Dorothy D.United States
We had not used TourByLocals before, so our first experience was a delightful surprise. Anne C was our guide, and she exceeded every expectation from start to finish. Her communication before the trip was incredibly helpful—she asked about our food preferences and specific places we wanted to visit. Anne's breadth of cultural knowledge was impressive, and her willingness to walk with us through multiple neighborhoods made the experience feel personal and immersive. Although we were part of a Tauck tour, our time with Anne was the highlight of our visit to Paris. Her warmth, flexibility, and genuine care made all the difference. We couldn’t be more grateful for her thoughtful guidance and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly customized and enriching tour experience.

My whole family (including two older teens) enjoyed Ann's tour. She was super warm and very knowledgeable about the sites in Paris that we visited. It was the perfect pace for us. Thanks, Anne!
