Ludovic was warm and inviting from the beginning! He was very knowledgeable and the pace we kept was perfect. He never said no to taking any photos and always stopped in special spots to point little things out for us. We had biscuits and water at the Eiffel Tower and I left with some of the best photos and historical history of the running route. When I left, he emailed us all the places we stopped by and discussed. He gave great foodie tips and I’m so beyond happy I went on this running tour!! THANK YOU LUDOVIC!! Mariam from New-York

Medieval Paris is the ancient and Roman side of the city, the arenas of Lutèce dating from the first century give the city this Greek / Roman side. It includes very attractive and historical places like the Marrais which has not been touched by Haussmannian architecture, therefore authentic, where its many private hotels have been transformed into museums and St Germain des Près the place of celebrities. Medieval Paris is the soul of the city with the Louvre Museum which can be appreciated in an exclusive way which is my way. This city does not end with old and historical vestiges and it is for this reason that it is so attractive, the old stone (monuments), the factor which gives it its greatest value. My warm and charming personality as you described on my profile and flexibility for changes at the customer's request as far as my availability is concerned. We will end with a fun moment in a medieval bar around a drink (unless the customer advises otherwise).
