We will talk about Moliere the famous writer, his plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed at the Comédie-Française more often than those of any other playwright.A unique and absolute reference in France, the troupe of the Comédie-Française is the oldest active theatre company in the world.
The 1,840 meter-long (6,036 feet) street tying the heart of Paris to the prestigious 8th arrondissement is known for its trendy side. Cultural, historical sites and artistic jewels can be found by walking down the rue Saint-Honoré. The Haussmann-style façades of the stone buildings set the stage for chic boutiques that line your path day or night for an enchanting stroll through the heat of the “city of lights.”
With its 126 meters long and its plan inspired by that of Notre-Dame-de-Paris, theSaint-Roch Church isone of the largest in Paris. Of course, since theChurch of Saint-Roch took many decades to build, different architectural styles are mixed, such as the classical and the baroque style.
The square was laid out in 1702 as a monument to the glory of the armies of Louis XIV, the Sun King. It was later replaced by the Vendôme Column, modeled after Trajan’s Column in Rome, to celebrate Napoleon Bonaparte’s victory at Austerlitz in 1805.

We had already taken a historical walking tour with Neda and we enjoyed it so much that we decided to book a second tour with her and it was just as wonderful. This time we discovered a different side of Paris, exploring opera and Haussmann area and fashion. Merci
Our second walking tour with Neda was just as wonderful as the first! We loved discovering Parisian fashion, the Opera area, and Haussmann’s incredible vision of the “New Paris.” Neda brought the history, architecture, and culture to life with her knowledge, energy, and great storytelling. We had a fantastic time once again and highly recommend Neda for an unforgettable Paris experience!
Our guide, Neda, was absolutely wonderful! It was our family's first time in Paris, and she gave us the perfect introduction to the city. Since we were especially interested in fashion, jewelry, and the Opéra district, she tailored the tour to include all the places we wanted to see while sharing fascinating history and local insights along the way.Merci
We have done a few tours with Neda. My family wanted to explore the fashion scene in Paris and learn more about modern textiles. They absolutely loved it. As the younger generation, they are passionate about fashion and luxury, and the experience was both enjoyable and inspiring for them.
We had a wonderful experience with our guide across two different tours, and both were excellent. She was kind, engaging, and made everything enjoyable from start to finish. My family loves fashion and jewellery, so this was especially perfect for us. She shared fascinating insights and really brought the subject to life. We also learned a lot about Baron Haussmann and the 19th century, which added so much depth and context to what we were seeing. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an informative and enjoyable tour.
Neda was one of our favorite guides. So fun, knowledgeable and engaging. Highly recommend her tours. I would just suggest making sure the the subject matter is something you’re interested in first. She had other tour options as well.
We have taken over a dozen tours across Europe in the last (6) weeks. Without question, this was the best one yet. Neda, our tour guide was not only informative but fun to be with. If only all tour guides were like her
Our hotel arranged two wonderful tours with our guide, Neda. We explored the charming old part of the city and the stunning Opéra district. The tour of fashion, jewelry, and modern Paris was absolutely fascinating. My wife and daughters love fashion, so this experience was absolutely perfect .
The guided tour of the Opera with Neda on the Right Bank of modern Paris was excellent. We learned fascinating details about the 19th century, and as lovers of fashion, we found the experience especially enjoyable. It was both informative and inspiring.
My second tour with Neda was recommended by the hotel, and we loved it. We learned a lot of new things about the Paris Opera House, fashion history, and jewelry. A truly enriching experience.
We were a group of friends who love fashion and jewelry, and Neda was the perfect guide for us. She brought the Right Bank of Paris to life with stories from the 19th century and beyond. Her knowledge of culture, history, and style made the walk truly inspiring. We learned so much and had such a great time together. Highly recommend Neda for anyone who loves history with a touch of elegance! anyhow so much traffic that this is the best way to learn.
Neda was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. She really made the shops and atilliers around the opera fascinating. So many luxury shops. I’ve never seen so many together in one spot.
We had an amazing walking tour in Paris with our fantastic guide, exploring the elegant area around the Opéra and some of the city's top fashionable spots. The tour was a perfect blend of history, architecture, and high-end shopping. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the 19th-century Haussmann-era Paris to life with fascinating stories and insights. We strolled past stunning buildings, luxury boutiques, and even some hidden gems in the world of jewelry and fashion. It was like walking through a living museum, but with a stylish twist! The pace was relaxed, the information was rich, and the overall vibe was both cultural and fun. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the more refined and elegant side of Paris beyond the usual tourist paths.
I have to say, the fashion jewellery tour I organized in Paris around the Opéra district was truly a standout experience. Exploring the sparkling world of Parisian craftsmanship, discovering hidden boutiques, and learning about Baron Haussmann’s transformative vision for the city made it feel like we were walking through a living museum,elegant, historical, and full of style. The blend of design, history, and glamour made the day not just informative, but unforgettable. I'm proud to have curated something so meaningful for my friends, merci Neda

Our hotel was near the The Opéra district and so we made a choice to get a guide and learn about the area, This is where shopaholics flock to shop at Galeries Lafayette or Printemps, two of Paris's flagship department stores.

Great tour learnt a lot about the 19th century history and the fashion art and jewellery. Walking in the proposed areas was magic and awesome with a summer great weather. Unforgettable Thanks Ned !
Sadly, this was the worst walking tour I’ve ever been on and I’ve been on many before. There were only 6 of us, but our guide seldom stopped to talked to the whole group, couldn’t be heard by everyone when she did speak, and didn’t seem to care. She said little more than what was already written in the tour description. I.e. she maybe said a dozen words when we stopped at the Opera House! It seems like I could have done more on a self-guided tour.
Paris is a beautiful and vibrant city with so much to offer but is not easy to find a good honest guide.Ned is very professional ,and gives the right information which one needs . Merci Ned
This was our second tour with Ned, we did the old part of the city and we wanted to do the right bank of Paris, learn about the fashion and the culture . It was very good and we saw areas that we would not have if she was not our guide. Without missing the main points of interest , she will also makes sure to discover all the little treasures of the city for the tourists.
This is our second time with Ned. Starting at Cardinal Richelieu’s residence at Palais Royal, Ned explained how influential he was in the arts and literature. Also there was situated the Comédie Française and the role theatre arts played in the history of France. Moving on Ned went over French fashion and jewelry walking over to the iconic Chanel boutique where Coco Chanel built her empire. She went over the renowned architect of Paris, baron Haussman giving it the look Paris has today. Walking to Place Vendôme we saw the highest concentration of the most famous jewelers in the world. When we ended at the magnificent opera house, Palais Granier, we had a good grasp of the importance of craftsmanship and the magnificence of art in this city throughout the centuries. Thank you Ned for this awesome tour.
