Hi there! Nice to meet you

Salut les copains ! Hello friends ! =D

Mon nom est Jérôme, my name is Jay. Ready for a tour spiced up with stories and history, a cheerful guide and good energy ? Let's go ! C'est parti !

I will share with you everything I know about my beloved Paris, and the many reasons I've decided to settle here after three world tours and 75 countries visited... Ready for some juicy traveling anecdotes, too ? I have plenty !

Like D'Artagnan (hero of the "three Musketeers"), I am originally from the South but couldn't resist the call of the city of lights, where I now work as a comedian/humorist, performing my own show that will soon be translated into English.

I looove kids ! Take them along ! And I generally love to tour with big groups, so bring family and friends as well !

Since many of you ask me, "What's the best tour ?" My suggestion is : go for the "Ten Tastings of Paris" !

It's off the beaten track, in a lovely location dedicated to food that can easily be extended for more historical inputs (just send me a message on this matter)

...And if I happen to be unavailable, do send me a message anyway : I can sometimes free myself =))

Jerome is very friendly and a very interesting person. He has great skills which add to the amazing tour he gave us. We tried food we would have tried that is local and visited a restaurant which is not touristy but has amazing atmosphere. Most of all he told us history facts that we did not know and had us laughing by the end when we sat for drinks at a beautiful spot with all his travel stories. His a wonderful guide and I really recommend him!! Full of stories and great history facts

Nice tour by a member of the French Blood Bowl champion team. Jay told us some interesting info about the differences between French and American societies. We walked through the daily market in Arr. 12 where we tasted a variety of cheese and meats. We walked to a wine shop where we had our choice of wine and then two different desserts. At the end of the tour we walked to the Place de la Bastille.Charcuterie, wine, dessert and history.

My wife and I had nothing but a great experience with Jay. We were running late due to issues with our phone service, and he was willing to wait almost 10 minutes until we arrived at the meeting spot. He took us to some great food places, which I would describe as offering more authentic Parisian food selections. The food and wine we tried were mind-blowing. As long as you approach it with an open mind and are willing to try different food options, you will have a fantastic time. To end the tour, he took us to an amazing garden in the city that makes you feel like you’re outside of it. Overall, he’s an outstanding guide, and if you have the chance to choose him, I wouldn’t hesitateThe best guide in paris

Six tennis ladies decided to take a food and wine walking tour through Montmartre. Jerome made our tour extremely fun and enlightened with wonderful historical antidotes. He had all the answers for past and present French history. We loved the experience!Great Tour with a Great Guy!

We met in a lovely park and started our walk around Jerome’s neighborhood. It was a pleasure to experience something very different than the usual sights of Paris. Jerome is easy to be with and hosted us for traditional French food, wines and desserts. It was one of the best tours we’ve had in France!An enjoyable, delicious experience!.

While Jay was friendly and personable and absolutely full of information on French history, our "tour" was really just hopping from one place to another, picking up something preselected/predetermined and then eating it all together. I expect a "food tour" to provide me with information about food history, food purveyors, and/or food preparation, and we didn't get any of that. We also didn't learn anything about the particular vendors whose wares we were consuming. Since I speak French, and my friend and I had already been in Paris for several days, we received very little value from our tour.Not what I expected

Jay was very friendly and charismatic, and was a walking encyclopedia about French history, language, culture, and foreign relations. He had us try foods that we probably wouldn’t have sought out ourselves, and explained the cultural or historical relevance of each tasting. Very fun and we learned a lot. Thanks, Jay!!Very knowledgeable and friendly!

Jay was lovely and shared his neighborhood with us. We met Jay in his local park where we started with a sit down introduction, he took us on a walk around his neighborhood shops where we purchased food at the markets and shopped like locals. We tasted local food, wine and experiences whilst learning about history and the Paris way of life away from the tourist life or so called hot spots. Jay was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging, truly and interesting man and a well travelled man. English was excellent. Highly recommend booking with Jay.My Backyard in Paris
