We are going to start at the Trocadéro and work our way around multiple spots surrounding the Eiffel-Tower as it is a beautiful shooting location. As a photographer I am trying to capture the soul of the subject as well as the soul of the City that I am in. In this case, Paris. From portrait photography to more ''touristic'' photos I got you covered. I am implementing a healthy mixture between parisian pictures in front of the Eiffel-Tower as well as charming portrait pictures in fancy side streets. But then again, you tell me what you want I make it happen. :) Contact me if you want the shoot to take place in a different location. 25 Edited images + 5 artistic images are included in this package. You can also request a 2 or 3 hour shoot which allows us to shoot at many more locations and get more pictures. If this sounds appealing to you drop me a message!

Over the course of a 1 and a half hour walking tour (entirely in English), we will discover the historic heart of the city with your expert, accredited guide. Paris is known as the City of Light, but we will instead focus on the dark side while exploring areas of the city rarely seen by Parisians. There will be several ghost stories, including the famous ghosts of Notre Dame Cathedral. Hear the story of the bizarre ghost of a famous writer with a bizarre pet who haunts a spectacular theater. We will also visit places of true crime such as the famous Demon Barber of Paris (the real inspiration for Sweeney Todd). In the shadows of the impressive and imposing Conciergerie, you will hear about the Reign of Terror and the imprisonment and beheading of Queen Marie Antoinette. You will have the chance to stand on the spot where a French king was assassinated and hear the unbelievable story behind it. End the experience by visiting the spot of the infamous Cemetery of the Innocents and the birth of the Paris Catacombs (NOTE: We do not go inside the Catacombs) Many other dark and tragic stories await you on the famous Haunted Paris Tour! If you are looking for a cheesy haunted house and jump scare style experience, look elsewhere. This experience is offered only in ENGLISH.

This is entirely unique to my experience and included in the booking. We will stroll as the Parisians did during one of the most epic periods in French history: the post-revolution era.
