Here in Paris, African immigrants come from all the metropolitan region for imports, hairdressers, tailors, embroiderers and memories of home. We call this place ” Little Africa “…

Discover two outstanding couturiers: one is at the heart of “sapeur“ attire – that of African dandies who make overdressing an art. The other has made prototypes for Kenzo and Paco Rabanne and is now creating his own collection.

The area hums with small businesses that deal with “looks:” hairdressers’ posters show dozens of styles, shops sell the exuberant prints worn all over Africa, tailors’ street-level workshops produce festive attire. Surprising to Europeans is the indifference to decor: clients come for the owner, and to chat.

One senses another philosophy. The innumerable coiffures in the posters suggest individuality within a group. Tailors’ outfits are superlatively personal. Friends hang out in the beauty salons and workshops.

The neighborhood is almost unknown.

Glamorous young Louis XIV changed the itinerary of royal processions to publicize his power (in 1660). The route passed by the first straight street, which led to the first royal square, with the first royal equestrian statue at its heart. It swept over a unique bridge, built to unify crowds and ruler (long story). And it passed by a church whose unprecedented architecture and decor implied that obedience to the king was the way to salvation. Unique to Paris, some of these innovations became templates that have been used ever since, and are the reason for the city’s majesty.

We follow Louis’s route, discover these changes, explain their lasting importance – and suggest a reason why the city’s beauty is rarely credited to the kings.

The 19th-century opera house is at the sumptuous heart of a new neighborhood of banks and luxury establishments. It is now a home of the city’s distingué high culture, but contrary to what the guides may lead one to think during opera tours this was not so at the beginning.

Questions about l’Opéra with surprising answers… Why is a superb colonnade of sensual nudes never cleaned? Why does it surround a huge, expensive open space in the heart of the most elegant part of town? Why does the audio guide dismiss as a “restaurant” a salon decorated by an orgy?

Our visit looks behind the Opéra’s jolting affirmation of culture to show the financial and erotic preoccupations of Paris’s “Gilded Age” priorities that today are concealed.

We begin with the edifice itself. To discover the grandeur of the former palace, The Louvre, we see how it is part of the giant perspective that cuts through the city and culminates with the Champs Elysées and Arc de Triomphe. Why?

After viewing the originals of works that you have known since childhood, we concentrate on paintings that are part of France’s image and of the French sensibility.

Why does the art commissioned in France between the 16th and late 19th centuries so often feature mythology? Why do so many deities adorn Parisian buildings – and with the  Statue of Liberty, the New York harbor? Is the  heroine of the iconic Liberty leading the People (1831) a goddess, or does a detail reveal a woman of flesh and blood?

We’ll be in the middle of stories, to finish in the magnificent Palais-Royal gardens – which because buildings hide them from the street, many visitors ignore.

Become aware how trees, flowers and wild plants teach us to better appreciate the city. Notice how nature springs from sidewalks, spans walls, flourishes on balconies and lets itself be choreographed on squares, in parcs and in hidden passages. We begin with secret gardens in the Marais and continue with the most romantesque of the city’s parks, the Jardin des plantes across the Seine.
