Pastry and history tour in Marais- the prettiest neighborhood of Paris
Joined 2024
The magical thing with Le Marais is that even if it is a very visited district of Paris, it is also at the same time the most original. As a former freelance columnist, I was lucky enough to meet many authentic food craftsmen full of talent and soul & who settled down in Le Marais, some in the 17th century, and others just a few months ago.
This mouth-watering journey will have you taste some the most delightful creations, very importantly they are very HEALTHY too!

About Tour Guide Nikki W.
Hello world! I am Nikki, a Chinese-French girl grew up in an international environment and now living in Paris. I will be more than happy welcoming you in my beloved Paris!
After working in multinational companies for long years and travelling around the world for my job, I decided to give myself a break. I left office work and followed classes of art history. Since 2019 I became a freelance cultural travel expert and also a freelance contributor to lifestyle media's covering art, fashion and culture.
These various experiences lead me to the most privileged happenings in the City of Light and nurtured my strong desire to share my secret find of Paris and exchange with rest of the world.
I lived in all the hippest neighborhood in Paris, le Marais, Canal st martin, Parc Monceau and Belleville, with the time I accumulated good knowledge and network of artists, galleries, designers, food shops, concept stores, cocktail bars and other off-the-beaten-track address.
I love Paris as a local but also as a tourist, I have a strong passion to find the best-kept-secret and share my personal addresses to the ones who are curious to discover the hidden gems and sensitive to culture and human contacts.
