About me ๐
I am a French girl that moved on the Left bank 8 years ago... and never left! I adore reading and walking (I like to do both at the same time, much to my mother's apprehension). I studied literature and history and patiently assembled all the details I give you here, by searching and reading a lot.
If you interested in living full-on curious and peaceful literary tours during your Parisian stay, I host private customed tours around Paris. I'll be happy to count you in one of them!
And if you want more help to plan your Parisian trip, I'll be honored to help ;) you can find all my custom services at the end of the map! ๐บ
