“Parisien d'un jour – Paris Greeters” is a member of the International Greeters Association (IGA) and is committed to upholding its core values.

Our values

The ‘Greeters’ are volunteers; they are a friendly face for visitors.

Greeters welcome individuals and groups of up to 6 people.

A meeting with a Greeter is completely free of charge.

Greeters welcome everyone – visitors and volunteers alike – without any form of discrimination.

Greeter networks are part of a sustainable tourism approach that respects both the environment and people.

They help to enrich local communities culturally and economically, thereby helping to promote a positive image of the destination.

Greeter networks promote mutual enrichment and cultural exchange between individuals, with a view to creating a better world.

Important

The tours offered by the ‘Greeters’ are simply friendly walks in a neighbourhood regularly visited by the ‘Greeter’ (where they live or have a particular connection). We do not offer any museum tours or tours requiring specialist knowledge. Visitors wishing to take part in a tour of this kind should contact a professional guide.
