Overview
Bonjour! I’m Quentin
A Parisian passionate about sharing the everyday life of my hometown.
Let’s explore what life in Paris truly feels like today!
One street away from the crowds, discover a living Paris that still feels like a village.
From the Cathedral that inspired Victor Hugo to the home where he once lived, this walk connects 2,000 years of history with authentic local life.
Let me show you the places I believe you shouldn’t miss
- Notre-Dame Cathedral: how it became a symbol of Paris thanks to Victor Hugo.
- Secret courtyards and medieval houses (somehow still standing).
- Fashion icon: Le Marais is the beating heart of Paris — where next year’s trends start today.
- Revolutions & WWII: look up! Cannonballs and bullet marks are still visible.
- Jewish history and memory in the heart of the city.
- Small cafés, local spots & authentic Parisian life
- Jokes included (free of charge)!
- Experience the city like a local, with insider tips (Born in Paris — I know half of the waiters).
Join us, and you’ll be able to tell your friends you really visited Paris!

On arrival
Meeting Point:
At the foot of the statue of Charlemagne on his horse with his two guards, right in front of Notre-Dame Cathedral, on the right side of the square, when facing the cathedral.
How to spot me:
I'll be wearing a beret and holding a black notebook.
Things to note
Tip: If you arrive around 10:00 AM, you can visit the inside of the cathedral before the tour starts (it’s usually much quieter in the morning).
