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.
Read this before you buy a baguette
All of us have the image of the beret wearing Frenchman walking with a baguette under his arm ingrained in our heads. So when one arrives in Paris and tries to say in their best French “une baguette s’il vous plait” they are expecting to eat a piece of the dream. When they bite into something that is often chewy, bland, limp that’s when the heartaches begin. Oh l’horreur! Any good Frenchman knows to order a Tradition (or “tradi”) and not a baguette.
