Hi there! Nice to meet you

Louis

I currently study journalism after a master degree in ethical philosophy at La Sorbonne and a degree in filmaking. My end goal is to write articles in periodic newspaper about the ethics of new technologies... I love Paris, its history, its culture and its food and I hope I’ll be able to share my passion for the city with you !

We had a delightful tour of San Germaine with Louis. Having been to Paris many times we wanted to get into the local culture. Louis was great. He knows the city and neighborhoods well. Very knowledgeable about history which he shared as we walked along. Accommodating to meet our interests. Found many places to return to.Beyond the must sees

Louis was a most well informed and entertaining guide. During our tour of the Marais, Louis led us through the streets, sharing the history of each place with details that took our imaginations back to the time and place, whether it was the 17th or the 20th century. His pacing was great and he interspersed history of the quarter with time for a tasting and a relaxed cafe experience. We highly recommend him.An Afternoon in the Marais

We greatly enjoyed our 2 and 3/4 hour tour with Luis in the Latin Quarter. He showed used around the Sorbonne and other interesting streets around there and in Saint-Germain de Pres. An added treat was to taste flavored, vinegars and olive oils as well as different types of preserves from local shops. Entertaining tour

Louis has a warm personality and is passionate about Paris! His knowledge made this tour unforgettable; and I am still processing the fascinating historical information he shared. He gave us a lot of historical and cultural information and was happy to answer questions, even on a cold and windy day. He took into account the rawness of the day and included stops at confectionaries and cafes for us to warm up and try local sweets. I truly enjoyed walking through Paris with Louis and I couldn't have asked for a better guide, thank you!Outstanding Tour Guide

Louis was a perfect guide for our walking tour. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and we covered a huge range of topics from current affairs, architecture, philosophy, food and culture. And such a good host. We had great fun popping into shops to sample and buy. And the entire tour was bespoke. Louis took great care and attention to plan and show us the parts of Paris we were interested in. Thanks so much! Incredibly thoughtful guide to Paris!

Wandering the streets of Paris with Louis on our 5 hour walking tour was excellent. Louis engaged with everyone in our group. The pace of the tour allowed us to stop and capture plenty of photos. We enjoyed a delicious sweet treat at one of Louis favourite spots. He shared many stories of Paris’ history past and present. We visited districts of Paris we would not have thought to go. We would highly recommend a day out with Louis when in Paris. A Day with Louis

My tour with Louis exceeded my expectations. Not only does he have a wealth of knowledge, but he is able to present it in an interesting and entertaining way. He’s got a great personality and is easy to understand. I really appreciated his flexibility and was comfortable asking him many questions. Louis is familiar with the nooks and crannies of the area that I certainly would not have found in my own. I highly recommend Louis!!What a great afternoon!!

I often use this app for tours around the world, Louis is a super knowledgeable dude, from a very specific community here in France. This would be one of the best. Super interesting to hear his views on the current political climate in France as well as the very intense history of the revolution. Not to mention Louis's family connections to history. It's a long walk but super varied with interesting stops, stores, candy/baked goods and even a spice store. I would definitely recommend if history is your thing, not to mention candid open opinions and stories. History, interests & sweet goods!
