Who We Are

Geneviève Spicer. Born to a French mother and a Canadian father, Genevieve is a bilingual voice over artist and multimedia producer with a specialty in creating programming and content for active seniors. She has lived in France, Japan, Indonesia and Canada and is known for her natural ability to adapt to and embrace new countries and cultures.

Geneviève works with a talented team of dedicated, licensed city tour guides and professional driving partners to bring you the best of Paris – before you book your flight, train, or boat!

Keith Spicer a.k.a . Dad (a.k.a Gpa) was co-founder and Geneviève’s partner-in-fun at Paris for Seniors. He played many roles in his life (the starring one that of exceptional, doting father) and made a real difference in preserving French language rights in his own country, Canada. He passed away on August 24 of this year.

France was Keith’s second home and Paris his favorite place in the world. He first discovered the city of light as a student in the 1950’s – when he also met a ravissante French girl whom he would marry.

After a long career in newspapers, TV, government and media-telecom consulting, Keith retired in the 1990’s. He went back to his beloved Latin Quarter and lived there for 20 years. His knowledge of French culture, history and politics was exceptional as was his love for Paris. In his late seventies he wrote an ode to his favorite city, Paris Passions-Watching the French being Brilliant and Bizarre”, followed by the thriller Murder by Champagne set in his second favorite French city – Reims.

In 2011, Keith convinced his daughter, Geneviève, to move to Paris with her family – husband, two daughters, Max the Border Collie and Flame, le chat. Together, they would explore Paris (with Dad as “ senior advisor”) and share with others, on Paris for Seniors.com, their observations, ideas and accessible itineraries. They would conquer would-be visitors pre-trip trepidations with useful resources and fun, informative articles, newsletters and videos about safety, transportation and interacting with the French. They’d also share off-the-beaten-track places and experiences in Paris.

Dad adored writing for our newsletters, helping plan itineraries, giving tours and making Paris videos with his cherished grand-daughters. Dad- we had the time of our lives – we truly did. Merci Papa.

Keith’s grand-daughter, Grace, has picked up the torch to honour her grandpa’s legacy of sharing Paris with others. Half of the dynamic duo of G & G (Gracie and Grandpa), Grace spent much of her childhood exploring Paris with her grand-father and is very familiar with the dangers, discounts and great times that await seniors here. She is now studying in Paris and working as a PFS guide and itinerary planner along with our other guides.
