Tour description

Meeting spot: I will be waiting for you with a purple umbrella at arc de trimphe du carroussel, next to Eric Kaiser bakery. Closest metro station: Palais Royal, Musée du Louvre. 

In the timeless words of Sacha Guitry,  

“Being a Parisian is not about being born in Paris, it is about being reborn there.”


Today, I invite you to embark on a journey that will connect you with the heart and soul of Paris. Let's explore the essence of this enchanting place, which has been my home for the past 13 years.

Our adventure begins admiring the beauty of Tuileries Garden then we will appreciate the Louvre Museum's exquisite architecture from the outside, a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage.

Continuing our exploration to the Conciergerie, we'll pass by Pont des Arts, New Bridge, the Samaritaine department store and Place Dauphine.   Here I give you a quick course on French Gastronomy and we'll savour a macaron. 

Our journey will then lead us to the the oldest public clock in Paris, Palais de la Justice, and the ethereal Sainte-Chapelle.
We will continue our journey via Saint Michel and the Latin quarter to have a look at the city's oldest tree, the iconic Shakespeare and Company bookstore and finally, Notre Dame.

So, let's embrace this adventure and discover the magic of Paris—the City of Light.

Dora was an upbeat, informative guide. We enjoyed our walk and learned a bit about the history of France. However, the tour is advertised as "macaron tasting," so my kids and I expected to visit several bakeries to taste and purchase a variety of macarons. This was not the case. We walked around, learned a bit about the history of the city in a fun way, and each person was offered one mini store-bought macaron from a box. I would suggest that the tour does not include "macaron tasting" in the description because it is misleading.

This tour was great! Dora did an amazing job of covering so much of Paris and its history/culture. As first time visitors, we appreciated her overview of different popular foods, too! Her recommendations helped us throughout our stay in Paris!

She is lovely, the explanation of places quick and objective for me is amazing, she offer a Macarron and is always respecting the level of the group as if is fast or slowly, also always stop in a place that who need site have a chance to sit. I super recommend her.
