Bonjour! My name is Prince. I'm a history enthusiast and storyteller who believes every street in Paris has a story worth telling. After building a career in tourism for more than a decade and making Paris my home, I now share my passion for the city through immersive and engaging tours. Whether exploring iconic monuments or hidden corners, I love connecting travelers with the people, events, and stories that shaped Paris into the city it is today. More than sightseeing—experience Paris through its stories.
