A Day of Exploring Black Paris
Overview
Available languages
6 hours
Mobile ticket
We begin with a complimentary French breakfast in the neighborhood Saint-Germain-des-Prés at the café Les Deux Magots, where influential writers such as James Baldwin and Richard Wright spent much of their time. We'll explore many historical sites in and around the 5th and 6th arrondissements as we make our way over to the neighborhood of Pigalle. There we'll discover why the neighborhood at one point earned the nickname "Black Montmartre". But no Black Paris tour would be complete without visiting the historical neighborhood, Chateau Rouge aka Little Africa, with its many shops and businesses.
You’ll receive an Unlimited Metro Pass that we’ll utilize to get to locations not within walking distance. The tour will then conclude with an amazing meal together at one of the best African restaurants in the city where we can share our favorite things about the day (Meal Not Included In Price).

Exceptional Tour, Outstanding Guide

5.00This was a wonderful tour. Knight, an exceptional man in every way, provided us with an illuminating amount of information about the different aspects of the African diaspora in Paris and showed many of us places we might otherwise have never seen. He was generous with his knowledge, his time, and with information about himself and his life in France. I also loved the incorporation of food, shopping, and public transportation into the tour. Highly recommend.
For the Culture
