We had a lovely tour with Mathilde. Even thought our tour started in the pouring rain, it did not slow us down one bit. She was very friending, engaging for both adults and children, and extremely knowledgable about all the sites. Wonderful way for first time visitors to Paris to get acquainted with the city.
