Get The Gems of Paris - French Moments

Many of us have been to Paris, or at least are familiar with several Paris landmarks.

The Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre…

Inevitably, these places became quickly crowded by mid-morning... (well, except during the pandemic of course!)

Tourists arrive by busload to storm these monuments and museums.

It's ok to do it once but you wouldn't venture again by these sites another time.

Well, after all this is Paris, you might think.

But, as you know deep down, there is much more to see and discover.

An unsuspected Paris, often away from the crowds.

A secret, even mysterious Paris that can be discovered at the turn of an alley.

A surprising Paris, where the countryside seems to want to resurface, far from the urban jungle.

The problem is that many visitors looking for that don't know where to go.

You may be one of them.

You've seen all the main monuments, visited all the important museums.

But you want to discover the secrets of Paris by going on a treasure hunt.

To do this, you need to know where these places are located and their stories.

This will require time, energy and focus from you:

👎 You will have to do extensive research on the internet.

👎 Buy books and tourist guides in the hope of discovering these places.

👎 And then you'll have to sort out all the information you've found.

It looks like it's going to be a tedious job.

And, frankly, you don't have the time or the inclination.

It takes time, energy and focus.

Oh mon Dieu !

The GOOD NEWS is that I've done all of this for you!

Yep, I'm here to help you!

I know Paris well. Very well indeed.

This discovery guide contains no less than 50 sites to explore.

That's more than enough if you stay a week in the City of Lights.

Over the years I have:

🚶🏻‍♂️walked the streets of the city extensively,

🔍 scoured each of the 20 arrondissements in search of nuggets to prepare a discovery guide for you,

📸 taken hundreds of photos of my discoveries,

ℹ️ gathered tons of facts and info,

researched many sources to discover more anecdotic stories...

🤩 and just recently I've worked like crazy going through it and transforming it into a brand new discovery-guide.

I've put a lot of thought into it and come up with a structure that will help you delve into the hidden gems of Paris.

The discovery-guide is intended to help you:

discover sites off the beaten tracks and outside the main monuments
find them easily with the nearest métro/RER stations
gather info for your next trip to Paris
learn (where) to look up, to stop unexpectedly and... to get lost!!
simply satisfy your curiosity
learn new things just for the joy of learning
delve into the history of Paris
enjoy some armchair travel (if you aren't visiting Paris soon)
prepare a school presentation (if you want to add something special and unique)

The online discovery guide I designed is a unique product entirely dedicated to the hidden gems of Paris.

By saying ‘unique’ I mean there are no other courses of its kind on the web!

You’ll be one of the few to discover things that many others (including Parisians) don’t know!

The ultimate course to unveil the HIDDEN GEMS OF PARIS!

This is the only online discovery guide 100% dedicated to the hidden gems of little-known Paris.

And I'm thrilled to present it to you today!

You will learn unusual things about Paris that no tourist guides will tell you!

Together, we'll go beyond the tourist experience of the City of Lights as we escape the uniform, the expected, the predictable of the contemporary city.

We'll unearth many gems by giving them a name and a story.

Think about it: you will find out interesting facts that many others don't... even the French themselves!

Yes, you will even be able to show off your knowledge to Parisians! Oh là là !

PIERRE, author of 1500+ articles about FRANCE!

As a French national, you’d think I know everything about Paris and France... but to be honest this knowledge comes from hundreds of hours of research.

Born in Nancy, Lorraine, I'm fascinated by monuments and beautiful places. I have always been curious and eager to unveil the mysteries of history. And I have always been interested in wandering off the beaten track.

In the past I've lived in France, Germany, Australia and am now based in the UK where I run French Moments Ltd, a company my wife and I founded to promote beautiful France and its language.

Whilst living in Sydney, Australia, I got busy studying a Master of Translation & Interpretation English-French with Master of International Relations... then I ran a French language centre before returning to Europe. But more than anything what motivates me is writing about France and sharing it with the world.

Started in 2008, our blog frenchmoments.eu has attracted over 1 million visitors in 2019 and has become well referenced on the web today.

Throughout my time living in Paris and Annecy, I offered guided tours to people coming from around the globe: the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, Germany, India... I loved seeing people's faces come alive as they discovered new places.

My passion is to help people discover France, whether in person or from the comfort of their armchair!

And this discovery-guide about the Hidden Gems of Paris was born out of this passion...

I hope you enjoy the journey!

What PEOPLE SAY...

As this is a brand new course, I don't have testimonials (yet) from happy students. However, here are a few things our previous clients and readers have left me.

The organisation of the 2 weeks intensive course in Alsace was superb, truly professional and wonderful attention to detail. Your standards are second to none, the nice little touches with our 'surprise packages', professional booklets and materials, the excursions etc. Superb!

Merci pour cette richesse d'informations sur les lieux et patrimoines de nos ancêtres. Nous avons hâte que la pandémie s'arrête pour retourner en Alsace, cette fois avec les objectifs d’aller à la rencontre des lieux de vie et d'histoire de nos aïeux. Pour combler cette attente, vos reportages activent notre curiosité et nous permettent de creuser les histoires de ces grandes familles de petits nobles. Encore merci pour tous ces rayons de soleil.
