Themed Paris Walking Tours

As your Paris Tour Guide, I’m here to help you discover neighbourhoods of Paris through the lens of specific experiences coming from voices we hear less about. Through themed experiences I hope to transport you to a time when James Baldwin walked through the streets of Paris, Josephine Baker performed in its cabarets, Robespierre reigned terror on its people or Jean Cocteau wrote about queer life.

These tours can be private or group tours, 100% walking for 2 or 3 hours. Feel free to contact me for tailor-made experiences.

Black Paris in the Latin Quarter

Paris may have been the centre of a global colonial empire but it has also been a haven for African-American fleeing racism and a focal point for the Négritude movement and decolonisation.

Strolling through the pristine Haussmannian streets of the Latin Quarter, we will uncover the locations that were essential to the vibrant lives of Africans, Caribbeans and Americans in the 20th Century.

This tour is only available in English.

French Revolution: “Let them eat cake!”

Did Marie-Antoinette really say those words? Did the people really want a Republic? And what about that famous Delacroix painting?

Lots to dispel and much to learn on this historical tour of the 1789 French Revolution from the origins of Absolutism to the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.

On our walk, we’ll explore the Louvre, Tuileries and surrounds.
