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.

Thierry was very knowledgeable and passionate about his topic. He was also very friendly and shared his love of Paris with us. I highly recommend his tour.

Thierry was wonderful! We were so impressed with his knowledge and comfort on the topic of Knights Templar. I was not as knowledgeable as my two friends were... read more about the fictional books and conspiracy theories. It was so nice to hang out with an expert on the history and the relationship to the conspiracies. We all came away with a very new understanding of the Knights and Parisian history and much more. Lots of walking on this tour, not for the person who struggles with exercise.

Medieval History comes alive. Paris is a fascinating city of beauty and stories. We all currently know the stories of the medieval Knights of Templar through fictional accounts such as... read more the book The Davinci Code. Thierry brings you to the very place where these Knights lived and died to describe the facts behind the legends. This experience is a must for anyone who is fascinated with the Knights Templar or Medieval Paris. It is a unique guide experience and Thierry tailors it to you. I am so glad to have taken this experience.

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.

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 is awesome! I loved the tour. I really appreciated the tone he set with our group- very warm, casual, and participatory. He went out of his way to answer... read more any and all questions. I also really appreciated him flexibly rescheduling us when my wife got sick. Sincere thanks Thierry!

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!
