Private Tour Guide in Paris
Welcome to It’s a French Thing!
I’m passionate about sharing all the when, where, why, and how comes about this beautiful culture and people.
A Detroiter turned Parisienne, who is a French Ministry of Culture Licensed Museum Guide, I specialize in offering fun and insightful guided tours not only within Paris but also in the surrounding Parisian region.
It would be my pleasure to lead you through the renowned museums and monuments of Paris, as well as unveil the hidden gems nestled in secret districts off the typical tourist path. Diving just a little deeper into the tapestry of French culture and history will make your visit so much richer. 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.
