Denne oplevelse går ud over datoer og landemærker til at udforske Paris gennem levende historie, samfund og tilstedeværelse. I stedet for at fokusere på en enkelt fortælling, forbinder turen afrikanske, caribiske, sorte amerikanske og diasporiske historier på tværs af kvarterer, og viser, hvordan sort liv har hjulpet med at forme byen på synlige og subtile måder. Oplevelsen giver plads til samtale, refleksion og kontekst, da vi rejser gennem områder, som de fleste besøgende aldrig forbinder til en enkelt historie. Fra butikker, restauranter og seværdigheder, gæster forlader ikke kun informeret, men med et nyt forhold til Paris.
Vi starter i det historiske litterære café Les Deux Magots for et møde og hilsen. Gæsterne nyder en let fransk morgenmad inkluderet i turen, mens de lærer om caféens plads i det intellektuelle liv i Paris og dens forbindelse til sorte forfattere, der boede og arbejdede i byen. Dette er en mulighed for at slå sig ned, møde gruppen og sætte sammenhængen for dagen fremover.
Vi stopper ved Présence Africaine, en historisk boghandel og forlagsvirksomhed grundlagt i 1949 som har spillet en central rolle i det afrikanske og diasporiske intellektuelle liv i Paris. Her lærer gæsterne om dens indflydelse på forfattere, tænkere og bevægelser, der forbinder Afrika, Caribien og Europa, og hvorfor dette rum forbliver vigtigt i dag.
Vi stopper inde i La Rhumerie, et historisk rum hus grundlagt i 1932 med rødder i det franske Caribien. Her lærer gæsterne om de kulturelle og økonomiske bånd mellem Paris og Caribien.
I Pigalle udforsker vi et kvarter, der engang blev formet af sorte udøvere, steder og kulturel udveksling i begyndelsen af det 20. århundrede. Gæsterne lærer, hvordan musik, natteliv og migration forvandlede dette område, og hvorfor det spillede en vigtig rolle i den sorte parisiske historie.
Vi rejser derefter til La Goutte d’Or, et pulserende kvarter formet af afrikanske samfund. Gå gennem lokale gader og marked områder, gæster oplever hverdagen, mens du lærer, hvordan dette kvarter blev et kulturelt og kommercielt hub i Paris.
Vi afslutter på en afrikansk restaurant, hvor gæsterne har tid til at slappe af, reflektere og dele højdepunkter fra dagen. Denne sidste stop tilbyder en fælles afslutning på oplevelsen.
For at få fuld refusion skal du afbestille mindst 24 timer før det planlagte afgangstidspunkt.
AWESOME TOUR Knight exceeded our expectations. He was personable, knowledgeable compassionate and patient (we had a person who had a hard time walking) We had a group of 12 and each one said it was the highlight of our European experience. Thank you Knight and I’m sorry I almost knocked you off the Metro😌😊. Blessings 🙏🏿
If you want to see and hear about a Paris you won’t get on standard tours, book THIS tour. Our guide, Knight, did an amazing job of guiding our group around the city through various neighborhoods on the Metro. He’s a history scholar with vast knowledge of Black/African culture and communities in Paris and he shares it through memorable stories. We sampled delicious food and drinks at various restaurants and we had the opportunity to shop at black owned stores.. Knight is personable, patient and his unique tour was the highlight of our trip. It’s well worth the cost in terms of information and perspectives learned and memories made.
Amazing experience, knowledgeable guide, learned so much and ate good too! 6 hours flew by and I enjoyed every minute! Highly Recommend!
This was a wonderful tour! Tour guide, Knight, was knowledgeable, personable, and professional. He took us to places off the beaten path of usual spots. We walked where famous blacks have walked, ate where famous blacks have eaten and learned history that we had not known - including the black Mona Lisa! The food was delicious and the pace was just right. This was my favorite tour of our trip. I highly recommend it. Just make sure you wear comfortable shoes!
I spent a beautiful day Exploring Black Paris 🇫🇷🖤 with an incredibly informative guide, Knight! What an unforgettable journey through the history, culture, and contributions of the African Diaspora in Paris.
Our tour guide, Knight, was amazing! He rendered us a wealth of knowledge of the Black cultural history in Paris! The walking tour gave us the opportunity to experience and taste our Black culture! He was very friendly, very outgoing, and very personable! We were able to see a side of Paris that we would’ve never known existed! From, Josephine Baker being a spy for the French to Dr. Martin Luther King visiting Paris, several times throughout his life! Thank you Knight for an unforgettable walking tour!
My tour was extraordinary! Thanks to a larger group cancelling, I ended up having an unexpected 1:1 tour with Knight, and all I can say is thank you! We started with warm whispers of the Parisian journeys of infamous African-American writers, before walking in the footsteps of figures like MLK and Marcus Garvey, with Knight bringing the Black experience of that era to life through stories and history along the way. After weaving through Paris on the Metro, we arrived at the Moulin Rouge, stopped by the former residence of the iconic Josephine Baker, and finally made our way into the hustle and bustle of the 18th/19th arrondissement. We finished with a delicious Malian meal and a complimentary hibiscus drink. Such a memorable, intimate and beautifully told journey through Black Paris. 🖤
Paris is very overrated but luckily we booked this tour which was the highlight of our entire trip. Knight was very engaging and welcoming. We met some other amazing people from the States and really understood the depth of black/African diaspora culture.
Knight delivered an unforgettable Black in Paris experience. He’s a gifted storyteller who brings Black history in Paris to life with clarity, passion, and incredible depth. Every stop felt meaningful, and his insights into figures like Baldwin and Josephine Baker were powerful and engaging. Knight’s warmth, humor, and knowledge made the tour one of the highlights of my trip. Absolutely recommend.
One of the highlights of my month long trip
