Paris-Enghien les Bains: small group 8 persons max, thermal city, Movie Amélie, amazing lake, most famous casino, Architecture Art Nouveau/ Art Déco

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).
