Overview

This private walking tour goes far beyond the typical highlights. You’ll explore iconic landmarks and hidden corners with a local guide who brings Paris to life through stories, legends, old photographs, and surprising secrets missed by most visitors.
Instead of dates and dry facts, you’ll get a lively, insider’s perspective on how Paris grew, transformed, and reinvented itself - from royal scandals and architectural rivalries to fashion shows, stolen treasures, and quirky mysteries.
It’s a personalized, relaxed experience designed to feel like discovering the city with a knowledgeable Parisian friend.

What truly sets this tour apart is the way each place connects to a bigger story - how bridges reveal political alliances, how museums hide forgotten train stations, how palaces shape today’s Paris, and how everyday corners hold extraordinary secrets. You won’t just see Paris - you’ll understand it, feel it, and experience it through the eyes of someone who knows and loves the city.
