Bonjour, I’m Nadine

Before creating Paris Through My Eyes, I lived a very different Paris life — as a showgirl at Lido de Paris. For years, I was part of the city’s cabaret and performance world, experiencing Paris from behind velvet curtains, late nights, rehearsals, and stages that most visitors never get to see. That time shaped how I see Paris: not just as a postcard city, but as a place full of stories, characters, creativity, and hidden worlds.

Today, I no longer perform on the big stage, but I have made Paris my stage, sharing it with you as a licensed tour guide. I bring the same sense of atmosphere, curiosity, and joy into my walking tours — whether we’re exploring Montmartre, a quiet Marais street, or the glamorous filming locations of Emily in Paris.
Paris has many faces. I’ve lived several of them — and I love sharing them with you. See the city through my eyes: relaxed, sophisticated, and full of hidden delights.

What to expect on a tour with me:

  • Expertise with heart: I bridge my German roots with my French way of life and show you Paris exactly as I love it — without clichés.

  • Personal connection: Meaningful interaction is always my priority, whether we’re discussing history, architecture, or hidden corners of the city.

  • A glimpse behind the scenes: My experience at the Lido and in Paris’ cultural scene gives me a unique perspective on elegance, style, and the stories that make Paris truly special.

Why walk with me?

  • Small groups, never rushed

  • I live here — this is my neighborhood.

  • You walk with a person, not a guide holding a flag.
