Overview

We begin with a complimentary French breakfast in the area 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 area of Pigalle. There we'll discover why the area at one point earned the nickname “Black Montmartre”. But no Black Paris tour would be complete without visiting the historical area, Chateau Rouge aka Little Africa, with its many shops and businesses.

You’ll receive an Unlimited Metro Pass that we’ll utilise 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 favourite things about the day (Meal Not Included In Price).
