Paris Through My Eyes is a collection of intimate walking tours led by a local Parisian who believes the best way to discover the city is slowly, personally, and like a friend showing you her favorite places.
No big groups. No scripts. Just real neighborhoods, real stories, and a real connection to Paris.

Walk through Montmartre, Le Marais, Saint-Germain and the real filming locations of Emily in Paris with a local guide who shows you Paris the way she lives it.

See Paris though my eyes.

Bonjour, I’m Nadine — your Paris City Guide

I’m Nadine, a licensed Paris city guide and the founder of Paris Through My Eyes.
After many years on international stages and television, I followed my heart to Paris — and made this extraordinary city my home.
Today I share Paris not as a tourist destination, but as a living, breathing place full of stories, secrets, and emotion. My tours are personal, elegant, and designed for travelers who want to truly feel Paris.

Paris has always been a master of appearances. The glow. The elegance. The effortless confidence.

But lean in, and you’ll find that her beauty is more than a surface sheen. The true Paris-the soul of the city-reveals herself slowly. She isn’t found in what’s offered to you, but in what you uncover when you look with intention.

So take your picture… then tuck your phone away. Wander. Listen. Breathe. For Paris rewards the curious and the present-and she still keeps secrets for those willing to seek them.

More than a tour — a Parisian experience

This is not a mass tour with flags and headsets.
This is Paris as I live it.
With me you will:

  • Explore hidden corners of Montmartre and historic neighborhoods

  • Learn fascinating stories about artists, writers, and real Parisians

  • Discover cafés, streets, and views you would never find alone

  • Enjoy a relaxed, personal atmosphere in small groups or private tours

    Every walk is shaped by your curiosity, your interests, and your rhythm.

    Montmartre Secrets

    Montmartre remains affectionately known as the historic artists’ village, once home to some of the most renowned figures in art history, including Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Salvador Dalí, Vincent van Gogh, Edgar Degas, Pablo Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri Matisse, and many others.

    Join me as we explore iconic avenues and secluded corners, venturing off the beaten path to reach Sacré-Cœur. Situated 130 metres above the city, this is Paris’s highest point, offering a panoramic view that is truly breathtaking.

    Breathe in the fresh air above the vibrant city and experience Montmartre as I know it—intimately, authentically, and with a deep appreciation for every charming detail.

    Emily inspired walking tour

    For fans of Emily in Paris, this is an experience not to be missed. Immerse yourself in the enchanting streets of Paris as you explore the locations where Emily works, meets her best friend Mindi, and embarks on her Parisian adventures.

    We will convene in the heart of the city, adjacent to the iconic Louvre Museum, from where I will personally guide you to some of my favourite sites featured in the acclaimed Netflix series. Stroll through picturesque parks, visit Sylvie’s elegant agency, and pass by Gabriel’s inviting restaurant—reliving the show’s most memorable scenes along the way.

    Discover the true “savoir vivre” of Paris through Emily’s eyes, cinematic streets, and the authentic Parisian atmosphere that make the city so captivating. This promises to be an unforgettable journey through the City of Lights, bringing the series vividly to life before you.

    City center and Le Marais Tour

    Immerse yourself in the very heart of Paris and experience the city as it was truly meant to be—intimately, elegantly, and steeped in rich history. From its origins as Lutetia, founded by a Celtic tribe in 250 BC, Paris has served as a magnificent stage for centuries of art, architecture, and refined culture.

    During this exclusive walk, I will guide you past some of the city’s most remarkable treasures: ornate historical buildings, tranquil medieval houses, and majestic Renaissance-era city castles. Together, we will explore hidden gems and peaceful secret gardens, visit the city’s first royal square, and appreciate the subtle charm of Parisian streets where history and modernity blend seamlessly.

    This is more than a tour—it is a private journey through time, offering a unique perspective on Paris’s rich layers of history, craftsmanship, and elegance.

  • A classic Parisian hotel with ornate architectural details, multiple balconies, and the sign 'LIVETIA' illuminated at the top. The building features large windows, decorative stonework, and black wrought-iron railings, with a busy street below.

    Saint-Germain-des-prés tour

    Step into the most distinguished arrondissements of Paris: the Latin Quarter, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, and the Invalides district—areas rich in history, culture, and sophistication. These neighbourhoods rank among the oldest in the city and have long been synonymous with Parisian elegance and intellectual prestige.

    On this exclusive walk, I will guide you through the remnants of Roman Paris, past historic cafés where renowned intellectuals once convened, and along streets that inspired some of the city’s most celebrated artists and thinkers—Boris Vian, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Karl Lagerfeld, to name but a few.

    We will also explore prestigious institutions such as the Collège de France and the Sorbonne University, alongside elegant luxury department stores and exquisite architectural masterpieces. Join me as we wander through the culturally vibrant Latin Quarter and the refined Saint-Germain area, experiencing the art, history, and grandeur that have shaped Paris for centuries.

  • A cluttered antique shop storefront with various vintage furniture, framed artwork, and decorative items inside and outside.

    The most fascinating flea market

    Venture beyond the typical Parisian landmarks and discover a side of the city that few have the privilege to experience. Join me for an exclusive, private tour of Europe’s largest and most iconic flea market—a veritable treasure trove where history, art, antiques, vintage fashion, and Parisian culture seamlessly converge.

    I will lead you through hidden alleys, renowned stalls, and secret corners known only to locals, unveiling unique finds, charismatic vendors, and the authentic atmosphere that distinguishes this market.

    From vintage couture and eclectic collectibles to iconic design pieces, this carefully curated experience provides an exceptional insight into Europe’s premier flea market culture. Each discovery is intimate, each moment deeply immersive.

    Available by private request only, this is more than a tour—it is an elegant journey into the heart of Parisian heritage and style.

  • Festive city street decorated with Christmas lights and ornaments, including a large illuminated clock and stars, with Christmas trees outside shops and people walking by.

    Christmas lights in Paris

    Experience Paris at its most enchanting. As the city begins to shimmer with festive lights, I wander the streets with a childlike wonder that never fades.

    For me, Christmas in Paris is more than mere decoration—it is an evocative feeling.

    On this exclusive tour, I invite you to join me for a private walk through the city’s most beautifully illuminated locations. Beyond the grand boulevards, we will immerse ourselves in the unique and magical winter atmosphere that defines Paris during this season.

    Available by private request only.

    Wine tasting in Paris

    Have you always wanted to try a wine tasting? Well, you have certainly come to the right place! France has elevated this ancient and historical craft to an art form, and there are many interesting regions across the country where fantastic grapes are cultivated. If names such as Sancerre, Chablis, Bordeaux, and Champagne make your mouth water, I will take you to my favourite local wine shop in the 9th Arrondissement, where the owner, Pierre Louis, offers an exciting selection to choose from and introduces you to the art and pleasure of French wine tasting.

    Let’s dive into this magical and fascinating craft of wine making together.

  • A bouquet of pink roses wrapped in plastic, a champagne bottle, two empty champagne glasses, and a small white box on a green park bench with people sitting in the background.

    Together, we will transform this precious moment into a timeless memory. Whether you prefer a classic, trusted approach or a fully custom proposal in the heart of Paris, I will guide you with care and attention through every detail of this extraordinary occasion.

Tolle Tour mit einer total lieben ex-Leipzigerin die seit 17 Jahre in Paris lebt. Wir haben eine Tour gebucht die uns an die Drehorte von Emily in Paris geführt hat, alle in der City, Louvre, Königspalast und co, sehr informativ und dank Kleingruppe auch verständlich. Kann ich empfehlen!

Nadine demonstrated both expertise and great passion for this beautiful neighborhood in Paris. She is delightful and very engaging. She doesn’t need constant affirmation that she’s doing a good job, because it just comes naturally. We are American and so Nadine gave a perfect English tour. We lucked out and had a private tour. Can’t go wrong by hiring Nadine.
