An LGBTQIA+ tour not to be missed

5.00We did the February 15th Queer Tour as lovers, my wife and I, and it was just amazing. We discovered Paris in a completely different way, through stories of struggles, resistance and LGBTQIA+ lives that touched us deeply. It was instructive, moving and inspiring. It was very cold that day, but Nolwenn was able to make the visit incredibly warm. We even got a few snowflakes, which made the moment even more magical ✨ We leave enriched, filled with powerful stories, and with a huge desire to recommend this visit to all our friends. Thank you again for this precious moment 💛
THANK YOU very much for this beautiful visit led by a erudite and charming Guide!

5.00From Saint-Germain to the Latin Quarter, via the Luxembourg Gardens, Doïna takes us to these emblematic places to discover a little-known story: that of the lesbian artists and writers who left their mark on the Parisian intellectual world of the 19th and 20th centuries. . I (re)discovered icons such as Natalie Clifford Barney, Sylvia Beach, Adrienne Monnier, Gertude Stein... I loved the annedoctes who made the visit very lively! Doïna's good humor and professionalism make it an entertaining and informative experience! Thank you for this moment and thank you for making LGBT+ people visible!
Original and enriching experience

5.00Great visit, I discovered lots of artists/people that I didn't know or that I had vaguely heard about even though they played a real role in Parisian political/cultural life between the 18th and 20th centuries. ! Very funny guide who is passionate, there were real exchanges. It's a change from the classic tricks!
