A private tour named desire
Visiting Paris museums and neighborhood with only your beloved one, your family or your friends is the best way to enjoy the “city of light”.
Knights Templar in Paris
Their tragic fate coincided with the rising of their legend. Fighting bravery, huge financial power, mysterious rituals, hidden treasure, unfair trials, cruel deaths, frightening curse… But reality is much more interesting than myths and legends. So follow the good guide.

We had the chance to spend over two hours learning from Thierry, and this was absolutely wonderful! We were not really knowledgeable in the Knights Templars, but extremely curious... read more and eager to learn. Thierry was so patient with all my questions! He is a great teacher. I bought his recent book to learn more. He showed us unique details on churches and buildings, and we will certainly remember the facts he shared with us next time we visit Paris and walk by these places. I recommend this tour for anyone interested in a fascinating journey in the past!

This tour was AWESOME. Quite possible the highlight of a great trip to Paris. Thierry braved the 42 degree heatwave in Paris with us to take us on a very... read more interesting tour of sites of interest of the Knights Templar and we learned so so so much. He was clearly so passionate about the topic and really clearly enjoyed teaching us. We had so many questions and he answered all of them with good humour and wonderful detailed information. I had been to Paris many times, and still learned so much about even big monuments like Notre Dame, and my boyfriend who had never been to Paris found this a wonderful and unique introduction to the city’s less well known history. We stopped for a drink part was through and had so much fun just chatting with him. Ask him about his book about letters from the war!! So cool!! I would REALLY recommend this if you love history! Thanks Thierry!

Very different then most Paris walking tours. You get a good bit of Middle Ages France, but a specific story behind it. Stays focus on that, and the walking... read more area is probably a walk you wouldn’t do on most Paris tours. Recommend highly, and doesn’t take up your whole day.

Thierry does a fantastic job explaining the complexities of politics and social history of the middle ages. As one can imagine, Modern Paris bears little resemblance to the city... read more that existed here in the 12th century, but Thierry was able to show us many structures and fragments of that time that are still visible, and easily overlooked by the casual observer. The tour was fascinating, and our guide was very knowledgeable on the subject. You may want to briefly review the time period and bring your questions because Thierry is very open to discussion and happy to share his expertise.

I had a great experience on my Knights Templars tour with Thierry. He was very engaging and informative. Of the many things he pointed out and explained, some... read more were tucked away in the backstreets of Paris. Others were right out in the open but were the type that you could walk by a hundred times and not notice. It really made you appreciate that so many things in this city have a fascinating backstory to uncover.
