Book on Viator

Paris has 2,000 years of history and most visitors never see it. It's not in the museums, it's hidden in the streets.

Whether it's your first or fifth time in Paris, this tour is the perfect introduction to the city.

This is a tips-based tour. Secure your spot and decide what it was worth at the end! ❤️

We’re a small team of passionate Parisians who came together to show you these corners!

This is a walking tour, not a standing lecture! The tour is carefully paced to keep you engaged from start to finish.

✅ We'll take you where others don't go: - Cannonball and bullet marks from revolutions still visible on the walls - The people who shaped Paris: WWII resistance fighters, revolutionaries, kings and emperors - Hidden gardens, and medieval houses - Street art is everywhere in Le Marais!

✅ We'll share our favourite spots: Restaurants / Bars / Hidden corners

* Jokes included at no extra charge * Hot Summer! We'll stay in the shade
