Full Days in Paris
Your day in Paris, written from morning to evening.
Two neighborhoods, two stories, and a long French lunch in between. One guide, one day, nothing to organize.
“We spent two days in April 2025 with Mathieu and experienced Paris in ways that we could never have done on our own.”
Norah McCann King, United States, Trustpilot
Morning, lunch, afternoon
Morning
A first walk, a first chapter of Paris history.
Lunch
A seated tasting at a wine shop, included and chosen by me. Prefer a proper restaurant? I book the table, the meal is on you.
Afternoon
A second chapter, in a different neighborhood or on the river.
Two days, for example
Love, power and the river
Morning in the North Marais, with the love story of Napoleon and Joséphine. Tasting lunch at a caviste. Afternoon aboard a private boat on the Seine, with tastings on board. Day one includes the Cruise Food Tour option.
Founding Fathers and Impressionists
Morning in Saint Germain des Prés, on the trail of Franklin, Jefferson and Adams, ending where the United States officially became a nation. Tasting lunch. Afternoon in Montmartre, far from the crowds, among the painters who changed art forever.
Several days in a row
Same guide, a new story every day. A restaurant booking instead of the tasting lunch. Booking for a client? See the travel advisors page.
Travel advisorsBuild your day
Ten experiences to choose from. Mix any morning with any afternoon.
The North Marais: Napoleon and Joséphine
A young Corsican officer, a Creole widow with a past, and love letters so fiery they still make readers blush.
The South Marais: Victor Hugo
Sixteen years on the most beautiful square in Paris, and the birth of Les Misérables. His streets, his loves, his secrets.
Saint Germain: the Founding Fathers
Franklin, Jefferson and Adams across the Left Bank, to where the United States officially became a nation.
Montmartre: the Impressionists
Quiet staircases, a working vineyard, and the corners where painters starved, drank and changed art forever.
Montorgueil: the living heart of Paris
One of the last true market streets of central Paris, and the pastry house a royal pastry chef opened in 1730.
The Covered Passages
Glass roofed galleries, mosaic floors, old bookshops, and the staircase that once led to Vidocq's apartment.
Medieval Paris
Notre Dame reborn from fire, the Sainte Chapelle and the Conciergerie. Eight centuries of faith and fury on one small island.
Cruise Food Tour
A private boat, a bottle of champagne, and Paris gliding by. Two hours of tastings and stories between the bridges.
Grand Cru Cruise
A vintage boat, rare wines, exceptional products. The Seine as your private dining room.
Château de Fontainebleau
The hunting palace of French kings for eight centuries, the place Napoleon called the true home of kings. A full day trip.
