A private tour named desire
Visiting Paris museums and neighborhood with only your beloved one, your family or your friends is the best way to enjoy the “city of light”.
Knights Templar in Paris
Their tragic fate coincided with the rising of their legend. Fighting bravery, huge financial power, mysterious rituals, hidden treasure, unfair trials, cruel deaths, frightening curse… But reality is much more interesting than myths and legends. So follow the good guide.

Thierry is an incredible guide. He has a profound understanding of history and made learning exciting. I got to see many unique sights around Paris, ones I would have missed... read more without this tour—and I have been to Paris several times. Wonderful!

Thierry is a great guide. He knows a lot about the subject of the tour but also lots more around. Sometimes a guided tour will be someone talking talking talking... read more and you just standing there. But this was like having a super interesting conversation while walking around this amazing city. I highly recommend !

This tour was AWESOME. Quite possible the highlight of a great trip to Paris. Thierry braved the 42 degree heatwave in Paris with us to take us on a very... read more interesting tour of sites of interest of the Knights Templar and we learned so so so much. He was clearly so passionate about the topic and really clearly enjoyed teaching us. We had so many questions and he answered all of them with good humour and wonderful detailed information. I had been to Paris many times, and still learned so much about even big monuments like Notre Dame, and my boyfriend who had never been to Paris found this a wonderful and unique introduction to the city’s less well known history. We stopped for a drink part was through and had so much fun just chatting with him. Ask him about his book about letters from the war!! So cool!! I would REALLY recommend this if you love history! Thanks Thierry!

Thierry is awesome! I loved the tour. I really appreciated the tone he set with our group- very warm, casual, and participatory. He went out of his way to answer... read more any and all questions. I also really appreciated him flexibly rescheduling us when my wife got sick. Sincere thanks Thierry!

Thierry does a fantastic job explaining the complexities of politics and social history of the middle ages. As one can imagine, Modern Paris bears little resemblance to the city... read more that existed here in the 12th century, but Thierry was able to show us many structures and fragments of that time that are still visible, and easily overlooked by the casual observer. The tour was fascinating, and our guide was very knowledgeable on the subject. You may want to briefly review the time period and bring your questions because Thierry is very open to discussion and happy to share his expertise.

My husband and I walked through parts of Paris with Thierry and we loved it. From the start Thierry was welcoming and accommodating with our booking. The tour took... read more in so much detail that we would never have picked up on our own. I now have a greater appreciation for the history of the Knights Templar. I would definitely recommend a tour.
