Overview

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).

5.00This is a fabulous WALKING tour that takes you through key historic neighborhoods. We walked, took the Metro and the bus. Our guide shared an astonishing trove of amazing back history with us. It was a highlight of our trip to Paris.
Amazing experience in the culture.

5.00The Black Paris Tour was an unbelievable experience that we thoroughly enjoyed. Our tour guide Knight really brought the black cultural experience to life for us, he was super knowledgeable, effortlessly sharing his insights with facts and vivid details. Although the tour was 6 hours, it didn't feel like it because it was well organized keeping you engaged the entire time. This is definitely a must do when you're in Paris.
Take this tour!

5.00A friend and I spent our first day in Paris on the “A Day in Black Paris” tour. Knight was our guide. He was so pleasant, thoughtful, knowledgeable, informative, and fun! I would love to bring others to Paris to come take the tour again. This was the best imaginable start to our trip!
A highlight of my trip to Paris!
