Women of Paris

Women of Paris The first Paris walking tour devoted entirely to women's history and influence.

Starting at the Panthéon in Paris' Latin Quarter, this walk will guide you through the charming streets of the famous Left Bank, passing landmarks such as the Panthéon, the Jardins de Luxembourg and the wonderfully chic Saint-Germain-des-Prés district - unravelling stories of incredible women at every turn. This tour will reveal the lesser-told side of the city’s history; one dominated not by grea

t men but by inspirational women, who persevered within a bastion of patriarchy to make their mark on Paris, and the world.

Paris in summer looks different when women are the ones holding the brush or the camera. These artists capture the light, the quiet, the movement, and the everyday lives of women in the city.

The grisette was never just a charming Parisian trope, she was a working woman whose life was far heavier than the stories written about her. Male writers turned her into a carefree muse, a fantasy that later resurfaced with the midinettes and still echoes in today’s Manic Pixie Dream Girl. Looking back at the grisette helps us see the real women behind the archetype, and how much their labor and complexity were left out of the picture.

The Tuileries Garden and Place des Vosges are two of the most beloved public spaces in Paris, places where people stroll, read, and rest. What feels remarkable is how few visitors know that both spaces trace back to Catherine de Medici. She cleared the land, built the palace, demolished the old one, and set the stage for the neighborhoods we know today. Even the Medici Column beside Les Halles is something you could walk past without ever realizing it was hers. Her architectural legacy is everywhere and almost invisible, hiding in plain sight.

As Paris gets ready for Bastille Day celebrations, it’s worth remembering that July 13 carries its own revolutionary weight. Charlotte Corday acted on this day in 1793, driven by political conviction at a time when women were denied political identity altogether. Her act didn’t stop the Terror, but it revealed how deeply women were thinking, arguing, and intervening in the Revolution, even when history tried to write them out.
Bastille Day honors the fight for liberty. Corday’s story reminds us who gets remembered in that fight, and who doesn’t.
We share her story (and many others!) on our Liberté, Égalité, Marché, tour!

Paris is full of Jeanne d’Arc in gold, in stone, and in paint. Her life became legend long before Paris built monuments to her. Here’s where her story echoes through the city.

For the Joan of Arc self-guide, skip to slide 6. Make sure to save it for your next trip to Paris!

Marie Curie became the first woman in France to earn a PhD in 1903. More than a century later, women are earning the degrees but still hitting the same ceilings. The numbers speak for themselves. The talent is there, but the access still isn’t.

After more than 10 years building and running Women of Paris, I’m starting to explore what the next chapter might look like — both for me personally, and for the business.

What began as a passion project has grown into a well-established brand, offering curated experiences in Paris and connecting an international audience with a more intimate, local side of the city. Over the years, it’s become a business that runs with a high degree of autonomy, supported by trusted partners and a strong digital presence.

As I’ve recently relocated back to London, I’m beginning to consider whether Women of Paris might be better taken forward by someone who is closer to the ground in Paris, or who sees an opportunity to expand and scale what’s already in place.

This isn’t a formal sales announcement, but rather an open-minded exploration. I’d love to connect with anyone who might be interested — whether that’s an operator, entrepreneur, or someone in the travel space who feels aligned with the brand and its potential.

I’m very open to conversations and happy to share more details privately.

Feel free to reach out or message me directly.
Would also really appreciate any introductions or shares 🙏
