The man behind a company that aims to put the stories of Black men and women back at the heart of Paris where they belong has spoken to FRANCE 24 about his mission. Kévi Donat came up with the idea of Le Paris Noir – an agency providing tours in Paris that follow in the historical footsteps of major Black figures to tell their real stories. He tells his audience about Black artists, political figures and intellectuals, and how they crossed paths– or even clashed– across the French capital.
