Founded by Julia Browne in 1994, Walking the Spirit have been offering in depth black heritage tours in Paris for over 15 years.
Offering a different perspective on Paris´s black expatriate experience within French culture, Walking The Spirit bring to life the experiences of African American writers, musicians, intellectuals and entertainers. This experience is enhanced by the local tour guides who love to share their impeccable knowledge of their culture in France with enthusiastic and curious travelers.
One of the tours offered is the Writers, Artists and Intellectuals tour which goes through the Latin Quarter and Saint Germain taking in the experiences of legends such as Richard Wright and Henry O. Tanner.
Another is the Entertainers tour which immerses you into the culture of black Montmartre in the 1920´s and 30´s. In the shadows of the Moulin Rouge you can take in the history of the Harlem Hellfighters jazz scene.
No tour of black Paris is complete without getting an understanding of the city´s Diaspora relations. Take in the Africa in Paris tour and learn about todays African and Arabic community.
So, after 15 years of experience, the passion of Walking The Spirit is bigger today than ever before. They love what they do, and they love sharing their experiences and culture. When in Paris, why not take some time to delve into one of the main expat populations in the city.
