About
I propose you to discover the old artisan and worker heart of Paris.
A district born in the Middle Ages outside the walls of the town but which greatly contributed to forge its destiny.
Here the history of Paris was written, not the History of kings and queens, but that of workers.
Here won't admire the great monuments or the large boulevards, but small, old shops and narrow, twisted alleys.
Come and discover the Paris you don't expect!
We'll start our tour in Place de la Bastille, emblem of the French Revolution, where we will tell the true story and refute false myths. Then it's off for a 2-hour stroll through the heart of the Saint Antoine district and its secret passages.
Small detour in the district of Aligre to visit its market and its ancient shops.
We will end with a walk between Viaduc des Arts and Coulée Verte to admire the Made in Paris handicrafts and the rooftops from the top of a hanging garden.

Sonia was very attentive to details, from choosing the places to show and spending time explaining the history, old and recent, of every corner of Faubourg St. Antoine that we saw. A great chance to learn something new about this amazing city. I plan to go back and revisit some of the places we saw, from artisan ateliers to the newer artsy corners. This was a totally different Paris.. A subtle choice of things to show... Sonia is very open at the same discreet, a wonderful guide.

A beautiful visit around the Faubourg St Antoine. Sonia made us discover this neighborhood throught its history, its hidden courtyards and its crafts of yesterday and today.
I loved this atypical visit, away from the touristicals tracks.
It was a bit of the true Paris !
