My name is Julia, and I’ve made Paris my home.
I earned a PhD in French Literature, specialising in the French chanson. More specifically, I studied French concept albums as they reminded me a sort of colourful musical books telling stories - with words, music, artwork and sound effects. And the books, they are probably my favourite things in this world.
For me, Paris has always been a city humming with the ghosts of painters, writers, musicians, and actors. The artistic appeal of this city defies explanation. No other place has been celebrated by artists as much as Paris. When I first arrived here, I found, to my amazement, that the Paris of my books and songs, films and pictures was still here, waiting. You can even chose your favourite era - would it be the decadent Belle Époque, the revolutionary Art Déco or the intellectual Nouvelle Vague.
This is the Paris I try to bring to life on my tours.
