Hello and welcome! Since 2015, I’ve had the pleasure of guiding travelers from all over the world through the magical streets of Paris. Born just a stone’s throw from the Palace of Versailles, I’ve always been passionate about French history—and Paris in particular. I know this magnificent city like the back of my hand and love sharing its hidden stories and secrets. After spending a few inspiring years in Spain, I returned to Paris to study Literature at the Sorbonne. Alongside my studies, I also pursued my other great passion: music. Today, I’m proud to call myself both a professional singer and a licensed tour guide. I offer a wide range of historical tours in Paris and beyond. Whether you’d like a relaxed walking tour, a journey using the city’s excellent public transport, or a premium experience with a private driver, I can tailor each visit to suit your pace and preferences. So come along as we explore Paris together—its iconic landmarks, lesser-known corners, and timeless charm. I’ll take you to all my favorite spots, and maybe even a few places only locals know. À bientôt in Paris! Marc Candes - Official Licensed Guide-Conferencier - Bachelor degree in French Literature and History at Sorbonne University, Paris - Guide in Paris since 2015

Overview of your Paris tour

Join me on a journey through Le Marais, my favorite district in Paris. Once the aristocratic heart of the city, Le Marais boasts a wealth of historic and architectural treasures, including the vibrant Jewish quarter—an essential stop during your visit. Discover the neighborhood's origins, once home to a fortress of the Templar knights, and how it has evolved since the Middle Ages into one of Paris's most prestigious and lively areas. As we explore Le Marais, I'll also introduce you to its modern charms—a haven for young fashion designers, art galleries, cozy cafes, and a bustling market brimming with gourmet delights. * Please contact me before booking for groups larger than 4 people.

Marc was great. He shared with me his knowledge of the Marais history, took me to a very good place to have hot chocolate and accommodated my interest to end the tour at Notre Dame Cathedral, along with offering and taking pictures of me in front of beautiful places. I would chose Marc again when visiting Paris.

Marc is simply brilliant. His memory for historic dates, his impeccable knowledge and his kindness made for one of the best tours I have ever had. This intelligent man is a find!

Marc was prompt, kind, and full of wonderful information. He guided us through the Marais and provided all kinds of historical context. Unfortunately, it was the Monday after a holiday, and many things were closed. I wish we had been able to take advantage of a market and go into more buildings, but the timing was not his fault. Marc is an excellent tour guide, and I would recommend him with no hesitation.

Marc ha sido un guía extraordinario. Además del conocimiento de París y sus barrios, es una persona muy amable y atenta. Estuvo pendiente en todo momento del grupo, e hizo que el tour se convirtiera en una enriquecedora y experiencia. Habíamos venido varías veces a París, pero creo que realmente no empezamos a conocerlo hasta que hicimos este tour con Marc.
