Hidden Paris Thinkers Stories and Courtyards

This is not a typical walking tour. Led by a Paris-based scholar in anthropology and aesthetics, this experience invites you to read the city as a living text. We explore the hidden layers of Paris—forgotten courtyards, underground catacombs, symbolic façades, and marginal spaces that speak in signs. Before your visit, you receive a detailed form to shape the tour yourself: you select from a wide range of historical eras, artistic currents, urban atmospheres, and culinary worlds. The result is a fully customized experience that reflects your interests—whether you're drawn to surrealist cafés, revolutionary graffiti, immigrant kitchens, or the traces of thinkers and artists. Throughout the walk, we use tools from urban semiotics, anthropology, and social history to uncover meanings beneath the surface. This is a sensorial and intellectual journey—one that transforms how you see, hear, and inhabit the city.
