Working as freelancers in mass-tourism for years, we realised that our clients weren’t looking at the art, weren’t tasting the food, weren’t connecting with the history when they were surrounded by hundreds of other tourists. It’s hard to have an authentic experience when the guy next to you is on a different guided tour.

In the last decade of our career, we’ve lost some of our favorite establishments to mass tourism. The local wine bar became a TikTok sensation, and the big museums became unbearable as tour groups got bigger and bigger.

We needed to make a change

We love this city, we love these places, and we want to show you it responsibly.

We practice responsible tourism: running tours in a way that doesn’t harm our local haunts and ruin our restaurants for Parisians.
