Our guests' messages
"No suggestion just a great "thank you" for Meeting the French! This is a lot better as climbing the Tour D´Eiffel, because you don´t meet the French there! Greetings from Hamburg."
Philipp K., Germany
"We had a delightful evening and feel we now have new friends in Paris. Melanie and Antoine were very hospitable and friendly. The experience was better than expected."
Elaine H., Ontario, Canada
"I can say without reservation that our dinners with Christian & Dominique as well as with Marc & Pricille were the highlight of our ten day trip to Paris. I am very passionate about traveling and believe that when you travel you should experience new culture, new food, new sights and new friends. Unfortunately when I have traveled before - I rarely am able to spend time getting to know a local family. In fact we typically spend most of our time talking with other tourists from the United States. All too often our meeting with French citizens is limited to those directly involved in tourism - eg. waiters, tour guides, or sales people.
Your service gave my wife and I a unique and wonderful opportunity to meet real families who we would never have met otherwise. I believe that we have made friends that will continue for a long time - and that is a great gift. I am so glad that I stumbled upon your website. Gina and I have enthusiastically told our family and friends about our dinners and what wonderful memories and experiences we had. I heartily recommend anyone to take advantage of your program."

"Our Pastry Tour was one of the highlights of our trip ! Ludovic was an excellent companion and guide, well prepared, informed and clearly committed to this great culinary tradition of France. We look forward to taking the Gourmet Tour on our next trip."

Cindy T., New York City, USA
"Thank you so very much! We really enjoyed our visit. It was an educational experience and an inside look at Paris that most people would never have. I appreciate my baguette and chocolates more than ever before." - about a visit from our "Meet the Parisians at work!" program
Phillipa B., Australia
"What a great treat! We would never have known that the world's leading saxophone maker is right here in Paris if it hadn't been for Meeting the French! It was a fascinating and eye-opening experience - and very enjoyable too!" - about a visit from our "Meet the Parisians at work!" program
Elizabeth B., Australia
"This very warm and personal tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Paris! Our guide's enthusiasm was infectious. The people at Gerard Mulot were wonderful hosts. We cannot say enough good things about it. We will be telling all of our friends about Meeting the French!" - about a visit from our "Meet the Parisians at work!" program
Nicolette C., New Jersey, USA
"Chef Myriam was a delight. She spent a lot of time with us in the Market and adjusted her planned menu to accommodate our requests. My wife and I were the only students and that may have contributed to the intimate experience. We prepared foods completely outside of our previous experience and learned a lot. Definitely recommended."
Larry S. and Gene B., USA
