An introduction to Black Paris. - The tour starts with a breakfast meet & greet. You are given a metro card which is used to ride the metro and bus. The tour guide (Knight) was knowledgeable on the information that was being provided. He provided answers to questions that were asked by the group. He took us to a variety of places and provided videos and stories that depicted the influential people and places important to the history of the black influence in Paris. We had lunch as a group before the experience ended. This is an experience that should not be missed when visiting Paris.
