Robin’s Guided Tours: Discover the History of Paris from a Different Perspective.

Explore the secrets of Paris and travel back in time with an expert guide.

Welcome! My name is Robin Duverger. Born and raised in Paris, and a lecturer at École Polytechnique and the American University of Paris, I invite you to discover the French capital through its history, heritage and the events that have shaped its identity.

During my guided tours, I invite you to travel back in time, explore Parisian neighbourhoods and gain a deeper understanding of the places, personalities and major historical periods that have shaped the city. My aim is to introduce you to a Paris rich in history, sometimes little-known, but always fascinating.

 

Tours at the heart of Parisian history and culture

Paris is a city where every street, square and monument bears the traces of the past. From the great French Revolutions to the urban transformations of the 19th century, from centres of political power to working-class neighbourhoods, the city’s history reflects the political, social and cultural upheavals that have shaped France.

I offer themed tours exploring these different periods, highlighting the events, personalities and ideas that have left their mark on the capital. We will explore, among other things, the defining moments of the French Revolution, the transformation of the city, its architectural and artistic heritage, as well as the lesser-known stories hidden behind its monuments and streets.

These tours also offer an opportunity to discover Paris from a broader cultural perspective: the evolution of lifestyles, artistic movements, traditions, major intellectual debates and the traces left by different eras in the Parisian landscape. Each tour combines the discovery of remarkable places, historical context and the sharing of knowledge.

 

Tours for everyone

Whether you are travelling alone, as a couple, with family or in a group, I offer tours tailored to your interests. Individuals, private groups, companies and teachers can all find an experience suited to their needs. I also organise bespoke educational tours for teachers and their students.

With Paris Vu, discover Paris through the stories that have shaped the city.

Private Guided Tours

Would you like to discover Paris on a tour that is not included in the regular programme? Perhaps you would like to explore a particular neighbourhood, delve deeper into a specific historical period, or discover a cultural or artistic topic that interests you?

I also offer private and personalised guided tours, designed around your interests, your pace and your preferences. Whether you are interested in the history of a neighbourhood, great Parisian figures, architectural heritage, art history or the events that have shaped the capital, we can create an itinerary together that perfectly matches your expectations.
