Private Tour Guide in Paris
Welcome to It’s a French Thing!
Passionate about France and its heritage, and dedicated to education and cultural exchange, I am a Detroiter turned Parisienne, who is a French Ministry of Culture Licensed Museum Guide. A native English speaker, I specialize in guiding an Anglo-Saxon clientele, sharing with them the finer details of France’s grand history.
I focus on bespoke experiences tailored to luxury, ultra-luxury, and VIP clients seeking refined and meaningful encounters. With international and multicultural experience, strong organizational skills, and a deep understanding of both French and American professional environments, I offer high-level, discreet, and engaging service.
My private tours and blog aim to shed light not only on the sights you must see but also on the customs, habits, and behaviors that sometimes leave us perplexed yet always charmed.
Are you planning your dream trip to Paris?
Are you a little intimidated by France and the French?
(I was too!)
Francophile? Mais oui.
The Cuisine of Bretagne (Brittany)
My husband is what you would call a Brest man, meaning of course he is from the city of Brest in Brittany, France. There are 13 regions in France, a country roughly the size of Texas. Each region has its own character, traditions, cuisine and even French dialects. With a landscape between sea and land as diverse as in Bretagne, there are sure to be many delicacies you will find and enjoy.
French Cheese Etiquette Questions Answered
French President Charles de Gaulle was way off in 1962 when he famously asked, "How can you govern a country which has two hundred and forty-six varieties of cheese?" There are so many different types of cheese in France that even if you tried one new cheese every day for a year, you’d not even be close to trying them all! There is immense diversity within each variety of cheese, leading some to estimate between 1,000 and 1,600 distinct types of French cheese. Here are some answers to the biggest cheese etiquette questions.
