I met Richard on a recent trip to Paris, and look forward to checking out his tours on my next visit. He’s a delightful guy, and I could tell by chatting with him over coffee that he has a true passion for his adopted city and its food. He’s a real expert on the Marais neighborhood, where he lives, but also keeps an “eye” on happenings all over Paris. I have a feeling that travelers who enjoy a personalized tour will find Richard to be the perfect match. (P.S. You can keep up with his adventures on his EyePreferParis.com blog)
