5.00From Saint-Germain to the Latin Quarter, via the Luxembourg Gardens, Doïna takes us to these emblematic places to discover a little-known story: that of the lesbian artists and writers who left their mark on the Parisian intellectual world of the 19th and 20th centuries. . I (re)discovered icons such as Natalie Clifford Barney, Sylvia Beach, Adrienne Monnier, Gertude Stein... I loved the annedoctes who made the visit very lively! Doïna's good humor and professionalism make it an entertaining and informative experience! Thank you for this moment and thank you for making LGBT+ people visible!
Original and enriching experience

5.00Great visit, I discovered lots of artists/people that I didn't know or that I had vaguely heard about even though they played a real role in Parisian political/cultural life between the 18th and 20th centuries. ! Very funny guide who is passionate, there were real exchanges. It's a change from the classic tricks!
