Why do all the tour guides focus on the men in French history?

What about the women?!

This is a question that haunted Heidi Evans - so much so that she launched a company called Women of Paris that specifically focuses on revealing the neglected gender in France's historical pages.

She talks about her company, some French women you may never have heard about, and (what she calls) an X-rated fact about Marie Antoinette.

We also did a live Walk Show on Facebook if you want to know more about Heidi and her tours. The first five minutes are free, watch on Facebook here. The other 30 minutes is behind the Patreon paywall for those who pay $10 a month. Go take the tour and sign up here.

Find more info about the 20 Days of Christmas Walk Shows - a walk through each of the 20 arrondissements in twenty consecutive days.
