Excellent tour by an eloquent & charming local French history enthusiast, Francois. We covered he parc Monceau, the Mansion next door and then many other streets contains stunning architecture. Francois added interesting historical commentary and we had a great conversation together. Well worth it.

Fabulous tour in the 8th

Published on Jun, 2023

Our tour with Dominique was fantastic. We went to parts of Paris off the beaten path and mostly in the 8th arrondissement. We began at the Parc Monceau. We visited the Romantic Museum, Haussmann's statue, and the Augustin Church. Dominique joined us for lunch at our invitation. He is an interesting and knowledgeable guide. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent tour with a great guide

Francois was very knowledgeable and friendly, and was very comfortable speaking in French as well as English. The tour was interesting and insightful, and his knowledge of French history and culture made it even more so. The walking pace was comfortable and we covered a lot of ground and saw quite a diverse set of sights and buildings. I would recommend this tour to anyone desiring to see a very charming part of Paris.
