Simon, your guide in Paris, at your service!
Born and raised in Paris, I've always been captivated by the city's rich history. From exploring medieval remnants to unraveling the stories of the French Revolution, I've had an insatiable curiosity to discover its hidden gems.
My love for history, art, and sciences led me to co-found my school's Arts Bureau, and I started giving city tours in 2013.
After graduating as an engineer in 2017, I continued sharing my passion for Paris part-time, and gave lectures in retirement homes. But the pandemic hit, and I realized my true calling: becoming a full-time guide.
Since 2022, I spend my days exploring the streets and museums of Paris, digging up fascinating stories, and crafting unforgettable tours. From the Louvre to Orsay and beyond, I'm here to show you the city through my eyes.

My degrees
- Professional licence — Tour guide (2023)
- Master in Cultural & Scientific communication (2022)
- Engineering degree (2017)
- Continuing education in history of art from French guiding associations and the School of the Louvre (with a focus on Egypt & hieroglyphs in 2025/26)
It's in this spirit that I founded Pépin Paris, through which I offer private, tailor-made tours for international travelers — from the Louvre to the whole city, on foot, at the pace of those discovering it.
This blog is my more personal space: a place to share my work, my tours, and what Paris keeps teaching me.
