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.
French Cheese Etiquette Questions Answered
French President Charles de Gaulle was way off in 1962 when he famously asked, "How can you govern a country which has two hundred and forty-six varieties of cheese?" There are so many different types of cheese in France that even if you tried one new cheese every day for a year, you’d not even be close to trying them all! There is immense diversity within each variety of cheese, leading some to estimate between 1,000 and 1,600 distinct types of French cheese. Here are some answers to the biggest cheese etiquette questions.
