I speak English, French
I am Artist
Bonjour! I am Clovis, a proud Parisian and your local host for all things French. I have lived in this beautiful city for as long as I can remember and it never ceases to amaze me with its rich culture and history. I am particularly fond of Montmartre, the bohemian district in Paris known for its artistic heritage and stunning views of the city. As an expert in all things sweet and romantic, I am passionate about showing visitors the true Parisian experience. I believe that the best way to explore this city is on foot, stopping at cozy cafes for a coffee and croissant, and taking in the breathtaking views from the best spots in town. I have a vast knowledge of the most picturesque gardens, hidden alleys and romantic spots in Paris, and I cannot wait to share them with you. When I am not showing visitors around the city, I can be found indulging in my two favorite things - pastries and coffee. I have an insatiable sweet tooth and I am always on the lookout for the best bakeries and patisseries in town. And as for coffee, let's just say I have a keen palate for a good café. I can tell you all about the best coffee shops in the city, whether you prefer a traditional French café or a trendy hipster spot. In conclusion, I promise to make your visit to Paris an unforgettable one. I will take you on a journey through the city's rich history and culture, and I guarantee you will leave with a new appreciation for this city of lights. Alors, à bientôt! (See you soon!)

We thoroughly enjoyed our walk through Montmartre with Clovis! He made it fun and interesting, with little tidbits about the artists who had lived there in the past. He also gave an excellent restaurant recommendation, where we had our dinner later.

Highly recommend City Unscripted for the ease of setting up this private tour of Montmartre. But more impressed with our guide, Clovis. He grew up in the area, very clear speaking English, and picked a fantastic route for us. It was almost as if he already knew that we didn't like crowds and really just wanted a slow paced journey through the area. My family (spouse, 14YO, & 11YO) eventually ran out of steam (aka kid's attention span :-) so Clovis showed us to a restaurant and reminded us to grab an eclair from the childhood bakery (unanimous, BEST EVER!). Fantastic family memory. Thank you Clovis!

This was a very helpful and valuable tour as this was our first trip to Paris and we only had 4 days in the city. We arrived in Paris at 9am from USA and had the tour booked at 2pm to kick off our visit. We booked a 3hour walking tour to give us an overview & layout of the city and get a better understanding of "getting around". Our guide was Clovis. Clovis was great. Clovis is a Parisian and definitely knows the city, a lot of history, cultural info, and was fun to be with. He also speaks great English and was very accommodating to what we wanted to see and do. Clovis met us at our Hotel (7 arrondissement) and we developed a 3 hour tour on the spot. Clovis also have a tutorial on the Metro so we were able to utilize the Metro for the rest of our trip. Overall, this was a great tour, a great value and a great start our trip to Paris. Thank you Clovis.
