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 mostWhat 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.

Jill was an amazing tour guide. She was full of knowledge re: the history of Paris and was very kind and accommodating. She was a an excellent communicator and was flexible in our tour, making sure we saw what we were most interested in. She went above and beyond when we discovered we’d been scammed by an online crook and spent extra time with us to make sure we were ok. We highly recommend any traveler to Paris to book a tour with Jill. She was kind, fun and extremely informative!

Our guide was remarkably knowledgeable about the history, architecture and culture of Le Marais. She reached out before the trip to find out our personal interests and designed the tour around those interests.
