I love sharing everything I know about this great city, with enthusiasm and my unquantifiable British humour. Depending on what your specific interests are, we can:
- focus on areas linked to major historical events
- discover the countless quirks and curiosities of specific quartiers
- cover street paintings and graffiti or classical public art like statues and sculptures
- do a magical mystery quiz together in any of ten parks or ten quarters
- investigate French history: Henri IV, Napoleon I, Louis XIV, the Commune, May '68...
- adopt an original theme: the Seine bridges; art nouveau; the medieval Philippe Auguste wall...
- simply wander around aimlessly seeing what we stumble across!
"The Bonuses"
Here are some of the 'extras' I'd like to offer you to make your time in Paris a little bit more special:
- Sunday Evening Get-together: a chance to meet each other and chat about the week ahead

- My 'A Bientôt' Pack: a goodbye 'thank you' pack including a desk calendar, my favourite Paris posters and other goodies
- Your Personal Maps: remember all the places we visited and things we saw with a set of fun maps of the week's routes
In booking a Paris Curios Week with me you will be getting just that: a week of Paris curiosities with Sab Will, passionate Paris street photographer and fanatical seeker-out of all the most fascinating quirks and curios the city has to offer, as well as its incredible multi-layered history.
When you book a Paris Curios Week with me, you also get
- a human being (the one you will be with!) who answers your e-mails promptly, fully and enthusiastically
- someone dedicated to making your time in Paris as rich and rewarding as possible
- no middle-men, agents or 3rd parties adding 15% or 30% to the price
- a truly personalised service based on the principle that if you are happy, I will be too
My Paris Curios Weeks only really take up five days of your time, for around 4 hours a day (although enthusiasm sometimes stretches this out to five hours, or more..). But if you don't have time for a full five days of Paris curiosities, have a look at my Paris Curios Tours.
Each tour lasts around 4 hours, is private, completely customisable, and you can mix and match more than one tour, Photo or Curios, in any combination you like. Click the link above to find out more.
