Uncover the best of Les Invalides the local Way

"Lucien took my two teenage sons on his tour. Both are studying Napoleon for 'A' level. They were riveted by the experience, finding Lucien to be an informed, amusing, engaged and engaging guide. He brought a touch of quirkiness, which kept them amused, and even sent them a list of links to Napoleon-related films afterwards. Thoroughly worthwhile experience. "

"We had a great tour! We enjoyed weaving through the city and learning about the history behind buildings and statues we otherwise would have just walked by. Lucien was also funny and engaging, we liked his little personal stories as much as we liked Napoleon’s! "

"Lucien put together a bespoke tour for me on short notice that exceeded my expectations by a significant margin. He tied Paris' geography, its architecture and history together to reveal a compelling story about its culture (what it is to be French, then and now) that's missing from all the texts I've read - something that only a native Frenchman could do. Book one of his tours, tell him the bucket list sights you want to see, but save some time for him to show you some of the related, but less well known sights you didn't know you needed to see to fully understand why your bucket list things make Paris, Paris, and France, France. Lucien was punctual, professional and articulate - you won't be disappointed."

"Lucien est un vrai passioné de l’histoire de Paris! Merci! "

"I would definitely recommend Lucien as a guide in Paris, as he is a charming parisien, who will let you know the most interesting details about the city, and its history. Also, Lucien will show famous places, as well as hidden sites that only locals would now. Not to mention individual approach that Lucien offers, as he had considered our wishes. We had a wonderful time, as we also had pleasant conversations. Next time we are in Paris we will definitely have a tour with Lucien again."

"Hi there. Unfortunately my son got sick and we couldn’t take the tour. I suspect it would have been great. I wish there were partial refunds at a minimum for illness. Thanks. "
