I am a British artist and filmmaker based in Paris, where I have spent the past six years exploring the city's relationship with the avant-garde. My background is in the history and philosophy of art, with a focus on cinema and digital media—research I pursued at the University of Kent and during a residency at Le Fresnoy - Studio national des arts contemporains. For me, Paris is more than a backdrop; it is a subject of constant study. When I am not filming or editing, I spend my time researching the hidden narratives of the city, from the haunts of the New Wave filmmakers to the radical ideas of the Situationists. My walks are informal but deeply informed conversations. We move away from the standard landmarks to look at how the city has been shaped by the thinkers, writers, and filmmakers who saw Paris as a living text. I don't just share history; I enjoy discussing how the city’s architecture and cultural heritage influence our perspective today. Whether we are exploring iconic film locations through a director's eye or tracing the "layers" of a neighborhood's memory, I offer a perspective that combines historical context with a filmmaker’s eye for detail. I look forward to sharing a different, deeper side of Paris with you.

I have been living and working in Paris for 15+ years. I love my city and love sharing its vibrant art scene with my guests. Originally, I studied Art and Philosophy at Concordia University, Montreal and received a Master 2 / Diplôme des Beaux-Arts de l'ESADHaR, Le Havre, France. As well as being a tour guide I am a practicing artist. I spent the first years of my life in Paris going to the museum every weekend to sketch the sculptures and paintings. I have over 10 years of experience working in the arts with artists, and galleries, as an artist and curator. I started out running an artist-run center and love making the experience of interacting with art accessible and fun. As a member of the art community, I am more than excited to share with you an insider's view of the Paris vibrant art scene. Let me show you how this city continues to inspire me every day. Don't hesitate to send me a message and tell me what kinda art you like! So, I can tailor the visit to your interest!

I have traveled a lot and lived in different countries. I know what it is like to be a local and what it is like to be a tourist. I have a degree in sociology, so I know how to collect and analyze interesting facts. I also have a musical education, which gave me a strong background in the field of art. I really enjoy communicating with people and showing them the places that once made a strong impression on me. Tourists often say that my tours are something more than just sightseeing. They feel more like an interesting and engaging walk with an old friend who shares as much fascinating information as possible.

Bonjour, food enthusiasts! There's no better way to explore a country and its culture than through its food, don't you agree? With a deep passion for cooking and gastronomy, I have been crafting unique private food tours for the past 17 years. My tours are not just about tasting exquisite French cuisine; they are about experiencing an authentic slice of French life. I specialize in guiding food lovers through the vibrant markets and high-quality specialty shops in Paris. I have decided to also expand in the French Basque Country and create more food memories exploring Biarritz, Bayonne or Saint Jean de Luz. I now share my time between Paris & the South West of France. For me, traveling is all about exchanging stories, discovering new people, and immersing oneself in local tales. Through my food tours, I aim to share the essence of the French "art de vivre" with every visitor.

Paris Tour Reviews
Julie S.
“Rafael was GREAAAT!”
My husband has some mobility issues and would not be able to experience Paris on foot. We booked Rafeal for two 4hrs days. He showed us not only the must see but all the hidden gems. Rafael was very knowledgeable & thorough as he showed us the city. With his expertise, we felt that we had fully experience Paris. Besides his knowledge, we really appreciate Rafael's watchful care towards my husband's need. We intended to book another tour to see Paris at night with Rafael but unfortunately my husband got sick. Will definitely recommend Rafael and reach out to him on our next Paris trip.

“Riding with Raphael”
Great experience from planning through completion. Raphael was pleasant, patient and professional during the planning phase. Our lodging locations changed 3 times and he was very accommodating. Once we met him, he was helpful and resourceful in situating our 4 mos old grandsons car seat and the folding stroller he travels in. We were provided blankets to insure we were warm and comfortable on this chilly December morning. He was very informative while traversing the city sights, extremely knowkedgable about what we were seeing and where we were traveling. Provided detailed answers, specific facts and humorous responses to our many questions. Though we had arrived 15 minutes later than we were supposed to have been, due to traffic, we were never made to felel rushed. He gave us the full two hours and dropped us off at a nearby restaurant for lunch. Would recommend this tour to those new to Paris. It's a great way to familiarize oneself with the city and its many attractions. By all means, request Raphael. He was excellent, friendly and an absolute pleasure to tour with.
