You Will Love This Tour If:
- You don’t know Paris very well but don’t feel like hitting the major sights just yet, or have seen enough of them
- You live in Paris but haven't explored its nooks yet
- You love perusing specialty food stores, boutiques, galleries, food markets and a variety of unusual shops
- You are the kind of person who digs through tourist books and websites to find hidden gems
- You're more interested in the contemporary life of the city than in its history
- You enjoy ambling around a neighborhood to really get to know it
This Tour Is Not For You If:
- You prefer historical, architectural, or more standard churches-and-monuments tours
- Walking or ambling is not your thing
- You prefer a more tightly structured, information-packed tour
- You don’t care for shopping (while the tour can be tailored for more or less shopping, all tours will have some shopping)
