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.

Versailles Night Fountains Show
Starting June 11, 2022 every Saturday evening in summer, the gardens of the Chateau of Versailles are dressed in thousands of lights, the fountains are flowing, the Sun King’s favorite baroque music is playing and a spectacular fireworks display finishes the evening.
Since there are only so many Saturdays in summer, now is the time to buy your tickets and plan your visit. I went last year with my husband and kids and it was magical. Here is my write-up from last June on this memorable evening.
