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.

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.
