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’s reign 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.
Queer Paris in the Marais district
The Marais is a district that has changed in the last 40 years and its distinct LGBT character is progressively disappearing.
My mission is to make you relieve some of the stories that made this neighbourhood France’s top “gayborhood” while teaching you about the heroes that fought for marriage and adoption equality.
French Revolution near the Louvre
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 area by the Louvre, Tuileries and surrounds.
