Overview
This experience goes beyond dates and landmarks to explore Paris through lived history, community, and presence. Rather than focusing on a single narrative, the tour connects African, Caribbean, Black American and diasporic stories across neighborhoods, showing how Black life has helped shape the city in visible and subtle ways. The experience allows space for conversation, reflection, and context as we travel through areas most visitors never connect into a single story. From shops, restaurants, and landmarks, guests leave not just informed, but with a new relationship to Paris.

Itinerary
1. We begin at the historic literary café Les Deux Magots for a meet and greet. Guests enjoy a light French breakfast included with the tour while learning about the café’s place in Parisian intellectual life and its connection to Black writers who lived and worked in the city. This is an opportunity to settle in, meet the group, and set the context for the day ahead.
2. We stop at Présence Africaine, a landmark bookstore and publishing house founded in 1949 that has played a central role in African and diasporic intellectual life in Paris. Here, guests learn about its influence on writers, thinkers, and movements that connected Africa, the Caribbean, and Europe, and why this space remains important today.
3. We stop inside La Rhumerie, a historic rum house founded in 1932 with roots in the French Caribbean. Here guests learn about the cultural and economic ties between Paris and the Caribbean.
4. In Pigalle, we explore a neighborhood once shaped by Black performers, venues, and cultural exchange in the early 20th century. Guests learn how music, nightlife, and migration transformed this area and why it played an important role in Black Parisian history.
5. We then travel to La Goutte d’Or, a vibrant neighborhood shaped by African communities. Walking through local streets and market areas, guests experience everyday life while learning how this neighborhood became a cultural and commercial hub within Paris.
6. We finish at an African restaurant, where guests have time to relax, reflect, and share highlights from the day. This final stop offers a communal ending to the experience.
