Narrated in my own voice
The same guide, the same research.
I wrote the script from the same research as the guided tours, and the narration is my voice. Not a studio narrator, not a generic city audioguide: the same guide, at the same places, telling the same history.
See the guided tour dates →The French narration is available today; the English narration is being recorded and will be added to every purchase at no cost.
Before you buy
Hear the walk before you take it
This is the moment of the introduction where I lay out the route: the four main stops, the short ones in between, and where it ends. The map draws itself as I name each place — the same map you hold on the day.
Preview in French — the English recording is in progress.

The English edition is being recorded
The walk exists and is finished — in French. I narrate every stop myself rather than hand it to a machine, so the English recording is being made now. Leave me a message and you will be the first to know when it opens.

Questions
Things you might wonder.
How does the self-guided tour work?
After payment you receive an email with a personal link. Open it on your phone: a map shows the route and your position, and the narration starts when you reach each stop. Subtitles and the archive photographs follow the audio.
Do I need an internet connection during the walk?
No. Open the page once on wifi (at your hotel, for instance) and wait for “Ready for offline use”: the audio, the photographs and the map of the Latin Quarter are then stored on your phone. GPS works without data.
How long do I have access?
You pick the day you plan to walk. The tour opens the evening before and stays open for a few days after it, so you can buy weeks ahead without losing anything. Once the page has been loaded on wifi it keeps working offline until the end of that window. If your trip moves, write to me and I will shift the dates.
Can I offer it as a gift?
Yes. Enter the recipient’s email at checkout and, if you know it, the day they will walk: the access link and the explanatory sheet go to them, and the tour opens on the right day.
What if my phone has no GPS, or I refuse location access?
The tour still works: tap a stop on the map to start its narration, and the app tells you where the next one is.
Is it available in English?
The interface and the price include both languages. The French narration is available today; the English narration is being recorded and will appear in your tour automatically, at no extra cost.
