Behind the screen

Bonjour, I’m Francie— a lifelong Paris lover, a quiet explorer, and the kind of woman who knows the perfect little place you didn’t know you were looking for.

For years, I’ve wandered the streets of Paris not as a tourist, but as someone who truly listens to what a place feels like. I was born and raised in Paris. I know the refined, soulful side of the city — the Paris of quiet courtyards, beautiful facades, hidden gardens and beautiful markets (the most beautiful ones in Paris!).

My favourite districts are the 6th, 7th and 16th arrondissements: elegant, classic, a little secretive… just like Paris should be.

This walking tour project started naturally.

Friends from abroad would visit and ask, “Can you show me your Paris?”

They didn’t want long historical speeches or crowded landmarks. They wanted beauty, atmosphere, style — the feeling of being guided by someone who knows the city from the inside. Someone who notices the light on a doorway, the smell of a florist, the perfect boutique where you’ll find something just right.

So that’s what I do.

I create personalised walking itineraries that feel like a Parisian friend is taking you by the hand and saying, “Come this way, I have something special to show you.”

My clients are often women, sometimes over 50 — curious and sensitive to beauty. They are solo travellers or come with a friend or daughter. They’re not looking for a checklist.

They’re looking for a memory, an experience that feels just right for them.

I speak fluent English, and I’m something else:

A good listener. A passionate walker. A woman who sees beauty in the small details and absolutely loves to share them.

I so much look forward to meeting you soon!
