En dag med udforskning af det sorte Paris
Beskrivelse
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.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
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.

The tour guide Knight, curated a very informative experience. The tour highlighted contributions of Black intellectuals, performers, writers, activists and restauranteurs and their rich multifaceted legacy. Coming away from the experience, my perspective has been enriched and balanced, since as an African American woman, the stories about Blacks in Paris have been told from a very singular point of view. Highly recommended!!
This was one of the highlights of the entire trip. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and went out his way to interact and answer everyone’s questions. I would recommend this tour to everyone visiting Paris.
Would love it if you are interested in the black experience and their contributions to France from a Black voice.
Knight was fantastic! Great to see parts of Paris and hear about other history. A whole other perspective.
Knight was fantastic! We learned so much. Awesome stops along the way learning about James Baldwin, Richard Wright, and Josephine Baker. Highly recommend this tour on your Paris visit!
Knight is the best tour guide. He’s very informative and patient with the questions. Very knowledgeable and we enjoyed the history and the restaurants. Even though the train line was being repaired, Knight kept us moving with his knowledge of the bus and train systems .
Very personal your compared to the huge Groups for so many things in Paris. Both political and cultural, an emphasis on African Americans in Paris
5 stars – Absolutely unforgettable. Our entire group was deeply moved by the Black Paris Tour. This experience opened our minds, hearts, and eyes in such a powerful way. We left feeling emotionally connected, inspired, and far more aware of the deep roots and beautiful presence of Black history and culture in Paris. The tour gave us a meaningful understanding of how Paris has long been a place of refuge, belonging, and beauty for people of color and people from many backgrounds. We did not feel like outsiders looking in — we felt immersed, welcomed, safe, and truly connected to the people, places, and stories around us. This tour is everything it says it is and more. From the history, to the markets, to the shopping, to the amazing food and sweet treats, every part of it was memorable. AfroNomadik Tours & Experiences deserves so much credit for creating something this special, and our guide was exceptional — not only knowledgeable, but deeply passionate and unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour. If you are considering booking, do it. You will leave with a full heart and a whole new appreciation for Paris.
Our knowledgeable, fun, flexible tour guide, Knight, was extraordinary and made the Black presence in Paris come alive! He allowed us to make the tour what we needed for our particular group, since we booked the entire slot, meaning our party was the only party represented. We stopped and shopped when we wanted to, and he still packed a wealth of information into a relatively small window of time.
Knight, our guide, was outstanding - patient, kind and deeply knowledgeable. We had an amazing experience learning about the African American literary icons who frequented the surrounding cafés, as well as the Black historical trailblazers who either visited or called Paris home. What made the tour even more memorable was Knight’s use of historical video footage and vintage photographs from Paris’ past, which truly enhanced the visual experience. This is a must-do tour that fully engages all five senses from beginning to end. Giving him much deserved flowers for the care and excellence Knight brought to our experience.
