We run petite group tours and make hand-drawn maps that let you see Paris like a local.

Parisians don’t do big groups. So we don’t either. We think it’s hard to connect when we’re in a big group, and we know you don’t get preferential treatment in museums or restaurants as a big group tour. That’s why we move in groups no larger than seven. That way, we can take you to the establishments that define Paris past and present - the places that tell the story of our city.

At Encyclopedia of Paris, we’re not part of any crowd. We time our tours intelligently and carefully construct our itineraries to miss the tourists with headsets and flags. We want you to feel like locals. Incredibly well informed locals.
