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.

Bonjour ! My name is Anthony and I am a dedicated tour guide with 10 years of experience ! As a true parisian, I practice the "art de vivre", the french lifestyle which is all about enjoying art, food, events, architecture and a slow pace of life. Weither you are curious minds, wanderers, a family, a couple, celebrating or just passing by, my only wish is to fill you with good experiences, stories and memories. As a certified tour guide and a very experienced traveller myself, I understood that this is only possible with a certain level of quality mixed with a good level of fun. You are welcome any time, bienvenue !

A lifelong francophile, I pursued an extensive education in French heritage studies. Now a graduate of Sorbonne University and Middlebury College, I continue to follow classes and conferences at a number of institutions in order to continue learning and consistently improve my tours. Based in Paris since 2022, I am dedicated to sharing the beauty and fascinating history of the city I call home. Following numerous collaborations with tour companies, I’ve chosen to branch out independently in order to provide better experiences for my guests. A resident of the neighborhood, I specialise in Latin Quarter experiences. When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling (17 countries and counting!) collecting books, going to the cinema, trying new restaurants, and spending time with my cat, Snufkin.
