Hello! My name is Michel. As a retired travel agent, I’ve spent my life exploring the world’s most beautiful destinations. Recently, I discovered the concept of "Free Walking Tours" while traveling through New York, Venice, and Ljubljana. I was so inspired by these experiences that I decided to bring that same passion to my own hometown!
Why visit my city?
Located just 10 minutes by train from Paris Gare du Nord (a simple €2.50 ticket), my city is a unique oasis. It is the only destination near Paris that boasts a stunning lake, natural thermal baths, a grand casino, and a historic racecourse.
What we will discover together:
Stunning Architecture: A visual feast of Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles.
Legendary Figures: We’ll walk in the footsteps of the icon Mistinguett, the world of Amélie Poulain, and the visionary architect Henri Moreels.
A "Breath of Fresh Air": Escape the city crowds and experience the authentic French "art de vivre" (art of living).
New Tour: Chinatown & Street Art
I am also excited to offer a second tour in Paris’s vibrant 13th District. This experience combines the cultural richness of the city's main Chinatown with a walk past the monumental street art murals that transform the local high-rises into an open-air gallery.
About Your Guide
I lived in the USA for a year and Australia for six months, so I am fluent in English. Thanks to my Peruvian wife, Spanish is also a gift I am happy to share. Whether you are a history buff or just looking for a friendly local encounter, my motto is to help you discover the soul of the places I love.
Come and join me for a tour in English or Spanish! (Special requests in French are always welcome).
I really enjoyed my tour with Michel! I got to see places in Paris I didn't know about that I'd never get to see otherwise. I really loved how the tour encompassed everything from living spaces, restaurants and supermarkets to places of faith. Thank you for being so open to questions and for such a wonderful tour!!!
Excelente ! Michel es súper agradable. Tour muy completo, interesante y documentado con muchas referencias históricas, arquitectónicas ( art deco / art nouveau ) y culturales ! El paseo se desarrolla en un ambiente muy agradable, buen humor y en confianza. La ciudad de Enghien es hermosa y Michel conoce bien todos sus rincones y anécdotas notables. Lo recomiendo !!
We had a great tour with Michele. I like to seek out small, informative and off the beaten track tours and this was perfect! Michele was full of interesting facts and Enghein Des Bains is a delightful town, full of character and charm
Excellent tour. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot, not only about Enghien les Bains, but also about France and the French culture. Michel is a passionate of history, who likes sharing his knowledge. He explains the context surrounding the items observed making the tour very interesting and easy to follow. He speaks Spanish and English fluently!!
