Take the Shady Ladies Tour of Paris 2022 

$100 EARLY BOOKING DISCOUNT! More than any other city in the world, Paris has a rich history of seductive women who rose to the top. From royal mistresses like Madame de Pompadour and Madame du Barry, to courtesans like the (real!) Lady of the Camellias, the Shady Ladies of Paris reigned over the so-called demi-monde, a glittering section of high society that-even if it had to glitter in the shade-was often the true center of power.
Let Shady Ladies Tours introduce you to this intriguing side of Paris, from Catherine de Médicis (and her husband’s mistress, Duchess Diane de Poitiers) to racy, modern women such as Camille Claudel, Colette, and Coco Chanel. You will be guided by Professor Andrew Lear, world-renowned scholar of sexuality and art (and founder of our company) and his colleague Edith de Belleville, Paris guide extraordinaire, and author of Belles et Rebelles (Beautiful Rebels), a popular French book on the history of fabulous French women.
We’ll see famous sights from a whole new angle; we’ll discover hidden gems that reveal the lives of some of history’s most fascinating women; and we’ll dine in restaurants fit for a queen. Topped with a visit to a perfume museum and a chocolate tour, this tour gives you Paris the way Madame de Pompadour herself would want you to see it.
Discover the City of Light for the first time-or see it again from an entirely new perspective. Shady Ladies Tour’s densely packed, fascinating, and delightful break in Paris will create memories to last a lifetime.
