Paris from the Heart - François was fantastic! Very personable, with a delightful storytelling manner of telling the history of his beloved Paris. Unapologetically Parisian, and a “Right Bank traitor”, he created a collegiality in our small group of tourists that resulted in building a friendship over lunch after our tour. Definitely ask for him by name.

Loved our walking city tour of Paris! - Our first visit to Paris, and what a great way to be introduced to this city, and France in general! We REALLY lucked out with having Francois as our guide. We had a diverse group in our tour and he was so attentive to all of us. François’s enthusiasm for the history of Paris was certainly contagious! I would highly recommend him to all travelers to Paris! Thank you, François!

A MUST DO in Paris - What a great tour. So much history and beauty. Francois is very knowledgeable and passionate about this beautiful city. The history lessons we learned today surpassed all of my schooling and I feel a love for Paris I didn’t know was there. Our guide made us feel comfortable, we were able to ask any questions and stop to take pictures of what was important to us. THE VERY BEST
