A well-established black owned and run tour company is seeking a
guide to conduct walking and bus tours that focus on historical and contemporary
Black Paris. The series of tours was created in 1994 by a former student of the
late Sorbonne Professor Michel Fabre, author of From Harlem To Paris: Black
American Writers in
The tour guide is expected to have prior knowledge of some aspect of the
historical and contemporary African-American, African, and/or Caribbean
presence in
The ideal guide has experience in public speaking or working directly with the
public, communicates with warmth and in a professional manner, and possesses
strong storytelling skills. As the tours can be scheduled at short notice, a
certain availability is required, although we do try and book well in advance
and we will work with your schedule. Most tours take place in the morning and
can be scheduled any day of the week, summers and holidays included.
A student of Black Studies/African Diaspora in France or related studies will gain from this
guiding/research position through the continual updating of their knowledge
base as well as having the opportunity to discuss many aspects of the Black
Paris experience with various audiences - from department chairs and subject
experts to students, business people, general interest tourists, young people
and children.
