How your day could unfold

A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

In a city known for its tightly-packed streets and fairytale architecture, do something a little unexpected: follow your local insider off the beaten track to laid-back Batignolles. An excursion through this quirky, village-esque district will show you a side of modern Paris you didn’t even know existed. There’s Art42, France’s first museum dedicated to street art, hearty Senegalese stews served at open-air organic markets, and the Place de Clichy – a lively intersection where you’ll swivel your head between giant cinema billboards. Ready to come down from the buzz? There’s nothing pretentious about a Batignolles bar, and a relaxing glass of wine and a small plate of charcuterie shared with your host is the perfect way to end the day.

My guide was amazing and VERY accommodating. She was knowledgeable, patient and kind ….. she went above and beyond to make the evening special. I hope you appreciate was an amazing g employee you have! I appreciated the hidden gems I was shown and that I got help with some shopping I wanted to do. I would highly recommend her (wish I could spell her name) to anyone interested in discovering a little more about Paris!

Our guide, Pascal, did an excellent job communicating with us prior to our tour. Pascal was right on time picking us up in our hotel lobby. When we told him that we had just arrived that morning and were jet lagged and asked him to walk slow he understood. Pascal walked at the perfect pace and showed us many things in the area around or hotel. He had a lot of knowledge and explained to us what we were seeing. He showed us local places that he recommend to go for dinner, drinks, and snacks. Pascal was one of the best guides we have ever had.

Our family had a wonderful Paris neighborhood tour with Abi. Abi was a terrific guide who showed us several different Paris neighborhoods. She’s engaging, with a deep knowledge of the city and its history. We also appreciated her passion for making sure we experienced Paris from a locals perspective. Can’t recommend Abi enough. Thanks!
