Anita tours Paris with Black Paris Tours

Anita went to check out Paris and hooked up with Ricki Stevenson, founder of Black Paris Tours, who took her on a trip around the city. She experienced Restaurant le Nioumre and its amazingly great atmosphere. The restaurant is just off the Chateau Rouge metro stop, an area which displays the face of French colonialism. She also got to check out the Champs Elysees, where the Harlem Hell fighters received a heroes’ welcome after World War 1. This was definitely one of Anita’s best experiences.
