Spend a Full Day or 2/3 Day Exploring Black Paris History!

  • All of our walking tours are offered four days a week: Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.


  • Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays are reserved for large group (20-50 pax) PRIVATE COACH BUS TOURS, which must be privately arranged. (See below for the form to request a large group tour.)


  • Our most popular tour is a Full-day (10 am to 6pm) Walking-City Bus Tour that offers our guests a Paris orientation and a primer on the history of Africans, West Indian-Caribbeans and African Americans in Paris. This tour ends with a visit to the neighborhood known as Little Africa! We’ll have late lunch/early dinner at our favorite Senegalese restaurant followed by a stroll, shopping and hanging out with the locals in this vibrant, bustling, colorful market district. You’ll feel like you’ve been instantly teleported to Dakar, Abidjan, Accra or Rabat. The price is 175 EUR per person.


  • We also offer a shorter Two-thirds Day Tour (10 am to 3:30 pm) that is packed with the same history as our full day tour….BUT does not include our shopping stroll through Little Africa nor late lunch with the group. The price is 135 EUR per person.


  • Our newest BPT experience is a 2 and a half hour “honored elders / mobility challenged” tour that invites those who may have trouble walking to join us for sips and snacks during the BPT orientation, followed by a short two block stroll to the Arc de Triomphe to hear stories of Hannibal Barca, Napoleon Bonaparte, General Alexandre Dumas and African American soldiers who bravely fought in WWI and WWII. The price is 55 EUR per person.


PLEASE NOTE: Our tour is a WALKING-PUBLIC TRANSIT CITY BUS TOUR that requires a moderate amount of walking. We’ve had a number of active 85-year-olds, even several 90+ year-olds who’ve taken our tour with no problems.... HOWEVER our tour is not recommended for anyone with serious medical or mobility challenges.

  • Our walking tour guests meet us at 10am at one of our favorite sidewalk cafes, just steps from the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs Elysees for an orientation on the earliest Black Paris history and a primer on the cultural do’s and don’ts our travelers must be aware of.
