Emma
Highly recommended Professional Tour Guide for the Museums of Paris
Speaks Perfect English & French
Emma holds qualifications in Art History from University College Dublin and La Sorbonne. Her innovative masters research focused on how Egyptian themes were used as propaganda in the public art of Napoleonic Paris.
One thing her research highlighted is that art, architecture and historical events don’t happen in a vacuum and it is only when you start looking at them in context that they really come to life.
She is a great story teller and communicator
Emma has a passion for storytelling and so stories are central to the way she talks about history.
She is amazing with kids, she grabs their attention during her Treasure Hunts that she developed herself.
Kids learn better and retain the stories and the knowledge during the treasure hunts of the Louvre
I recommend her vividly for Treasure Hunts with Families !
TEACHER AT SORBONNE
She has worked as an educator and researcher at various cultural organisations and museums in France, Ireland and the UK – including the Louvre, Orleans House Gallery and the Arts Service of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, where she managed a dynamic team of educators and designed educational programs for a wide range of age groups and backgrounds. She currently lectures in Museum Studies at the Sorbonne Nouvelle.
Jewish from her Father
Emma is Jewish from her Father and her Grandfather’s name, before the Shoah, was “Izrael”, then due to assimilation during the WWII , her grandfather fled France to go to Ireland and changed his name to Durand.

Tobi
Raised in Paris by a French father and an English mother, I grew up surrounded by Parisian culture, while being exposed to an English and Jewish Ashkenazi culture, going to school in the Marais and taking Hebrew classes.
On Sundays, my parents often bring my sister and I to the marais to visit my great grandmother, who lived just in front of the Musée Picasso.
From time to time we would go down to the Rue des Rosiers, to try out some of the Jewish food specialties.
On school holidays, we go and stay with my grandparents in London, on Friday evenings we go to our local synagogue, celebrate Pessah and Hannukah.
In my early 20’s, I had the chance to travel and live around the world, studying Drama and Film in the United Kingdom, living in abroad in Australia and teaching English in Mexico.
On my return to Paris, I decided to become a tour guide because it provided a fantastic opportunity to meet new people and share my knowledge and fascinating stories while fulfilling my passion for Languages, History, and Foreign Culture study.
I have been working as a tour guide for 4 years now and I am in the process of passing a diploma in History and Art History to become a fully certified guide.
On the side, I work on theater improvisation and music projects.
I have a keen interest in the subject of the History of Jews, the History of the occupation during the IInd World War, as well as the Parisian classical and medieval architecture. Although the IInd World War period is often linked with a sense of fantasy and heroism for many people, for me, personally, it resounds with the French Half of my family’s trying to live through the occupation and surviving the Holocaust…
Today, one of my favorite aspects of being a tour guide with Flora, is meeting people from all over the world and showing them around, not only the Jewish heritage but also the many facets of the city we grew up in.
Eden
Jewish Tour guide in Paris, he can tour in Hebrew / English / French
Eden is a tour guide in Paris, specialized in the Jewish tour in Le Marais.
He is a translator and a Hebrew teacher in Paris. He learned to speak a little Yiddish and German.
He plays Klezmer Music, in Parisian bars and Coffee shops, he mastered the clarinet instrument. Born in Israel, in a Kibboutz in the Neguev, until the age of 8 surrounded by the warmth of the collective life, before he moved to Kfar-Saba, a city not far from Tel-Aviv.Eden’s passion began when he studied philosophy in Jerusalem, seeing everyday from the window of the classroom : the amazing Old City, a labyrinth of history, religion and culture. Knowing that every monument, every church or synagogue have their own history, he quickly started learning about these fantastic and mystical places.
The growing interest for Jewish history came him after he moved to Paris where he got to know and work with the Jewish community in this beautiful city, starting in the Shoah Memorial as an official tour guide.After living a few years in Paris, he started realizing that the Judaism of today is inextricably related to its diasporic existence and heritage. and the Jewish heritage of Paris is of one of the richest and the most diverse !
