Overview

Bonjour!
I’m Quentin, a Parisian passionate about sharing French culture with visitors.

⭐ After 3 years guiding in Lyon, I'm back in my hometown Paris… And I can't wait to show you around!

One street away from the crowds, discover a living Paris that still feels like a village ❤️ This walk connects 2,000 years of history with authentic local life.

Let's discover the places I believe you shouldn’t miss

  • Notre-Dame Cathedral: Rebirth after the fire and Victor Hugo Connection
  • Secret courtyards and medieval houses (somehow still standing).
  • Fashion icon: Le Marais is the beating heart of Paris — where next year’s trends start today.
  • Revolutions & WWII: look up! Cannonballs and bullet marks still visible.
  • Jewish history and memory in the heart of the city.

Jokes included (free of charge)!
Experience the city like a local, with insider tips
*Do you know pétanque? If we’re lucky we’ll see locals playing… if we’re very lucky, we’ll join them

Paris’ City Hall stands as a witness to revolutions, fires, and rebirth.

13 novembre 2015 Garden

Hidden between modern façades, these curved medieval houses remind us that Paris was once a small village.

One of the most impressive medieval buildings in Paris, still marked by a real cannonball stuck in its wall

A true slice of local life. We’ll see Parisians playing pétanque and if they are not here, we'll play ourselves!

Village St-Paul

A small village within the city, where quiet streets, historic churches, and local cafés show a softer, more intimate side of Paris.

  • 10m
Fragments of the medieval wall built by King Philippe Auguste reveal how Paris grew from a fortified town into a global capital.

Hotel de Sully

  • 10m
Step into a hidden Renaissance courtyard.. a secret passage that feels frozen in time. My mother’s favorite shortcut

Place des Vosges

Our grand finale: the oldest planned royal square in Paris, created under the reign of Henry IV.

Maison de Victor Hugo
