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.
The French Flag has Changed
I bet you didn’t notice that the color of the French flag changed! Don’t worry you are not alone, over 60 million French men and women didn’t notice either, at least for the first few months.
French President Emmanuel Macron very quietly decided to change one of the symbols of the country without ever talking about it or making an official announcement. The decision to change the color blue in the French flag was taken by the President on July 13, 2020.
