The Black History of Paris Tour
Friday 11th September 2026 – Sunday 13th September 2026
This new and exciting tour, designed by Black History Study Tours, explores the rich heritage of African History in Paris, France and its connection to African Chattel Enslavement and Colonialism. Embark on an unforgettable journey through the vibrant streets of Paris and delve into the captivating narratives of France’s Black History.
Paris was the centre of both literary and artistic movements and a colonial empire.After World War I, many African Americans remained in or returned to Europe, and over the next three decades, created an expatriate community of musicians, entertainers, dancers, writers and entrepreneurs. Josephine Baker, Louis Armstrong, Langston Hughes, Sidney Bechet, Beau Jangles, and other African Americans brought the swinging, soulful sounds of American jazz music and the culture surrounding it to the banks of the Seine.
We will visit one of the world’s largest museums, the historic Louvre, and view the African presence in European art represented there and the collections of Egyptian antiquities. Join us for a weekend of discovery, enlightenment, and cultural immersion as we uncover hidden gems and untold stories that have shaped the fabric of this enchanting city.
There will also be plenty of free time to explore and make your own discoveries.
