Did you know that Paris is home to more than 300 canonized saints? Follow me to learn the story of Christianity in Paris, from the first Christian communities under the Roman Empire to triumphant times of Christendom and the persecutions of the French Revolution. I was born in Paris in the 2000s, earned a degree in history, and developed a passion for sacred art. After a few years abroad, I came back to my city and I have been introducing pilgrims and visitors to the marvels of Paris's religious history since. Contact me for a private guided tour in the footsteps of the Parisian saints and martyrs who walked these streets.

Wonderful visit with Paul on the footsteps of the saints. I came back home full of enthusiasm! [...] Paul is very knowledgeable and brings the history of the saints in Paris to life.
But above all [...] the tour filled me with hope, especially thanks to the story of Saint Genevieve: with faith and courage, nothing is impossible!

A superb tour.

The guide is a true expert, who taught me a great deal even though I'm a Parisian!
A very enjoyable tour both in its concept and its content.

Paul made us rediscover the city through the eyes of faith. A beautiful way to grasp what the catholic faith has maintaned throughout the years. Lots of fun facts and a cool tour in the heart of the city! I fully recommend!

This visit made me discover historical Paris from an often-hidden perspective: that of the saints who have bestowed a ray of Light upon it.
This tour flies by and takes us on numerous journeys through time, adding depth and dimension to our understanding of both well-known and lesser-known monuments.
Who am I?
​My name is Paul-Amaury. I was born in Paris in the early 2000s, was baptized Catholic, and developed a passion for oral history from a young age. In 2020, I went to study history in one of Europe's top university (LSE) and I graduated with a specialization on the spiritual roots of Europe. ​
As an auto-entrepreneur, I created Paris Catholic tour guide www.saintsdeparis.com in January 2026 to pay tribute to the hundreds of famous and unknown saints who walked in the streets of Paris, and to share with pilgrims and tourists the incredible beauty of Paris's religious heritage.
