We are Paris Tours, the first cooperative of tour guides operating in Paris in Spanish. We are proud to introduce ourselves as a group of ten experienced guides (historians, art historians, tourism professionals, teachers, etc.) with more than ten years of experience in the sector, committed to offering unique and enriching experiences to visitors to our beloved city. At our cooperative, we believe that the history and culture of France deserve to be told by passionate experts, and that there are still many aspects of the history of Paris that remain to be explored. To this end, we have created innovative thematic tours that will not only enrich your experience, but will also give you an authentic and exciting view of the city of lights.

Tour description

This tour of the Latin Quarter has a dual purpose: not only will it guide you through some of the most iconic places in the area, but it will also allow you to discover the lives and legacies of exceptional women who have made history. From the tragic figure of Marie Antoinette, to the brilliant scientist Marie Curie, to the young heroine Joan of Arc, you will learn the stories of women who defied their time and left an indelible mark on Paris and the entire world.

To know where we are going, it is important to know and understand where we come from. Dacia Maraini, an Italian writer, said that: 'when women die, they die forever, condemned to the double end of flesh and oblivion'. We cannot do anything about flesh, but about oblivion... we still have a long way to go.

Some of the places we will visit:
-Shakespeare & Co.
-Luxembourg Gardens
-The Sorbonne
-Pantheon
-Cluny Museum
