Guide #47320
Hi and welcome to the Loire Valley! LICENSED TOUR GUIDE. I have been working as a licensed tour guide for more than 20 years. Born and raised in the Loire Valley, I live in a small village, in the heart of the châteaux region. FOOD As a foody myself, the Loire Valley is heaven for me, with its mild climate and great soils providing amazing wines, cheeses, fruits, vegetables and its vast forests providing game and wild mushrooms. I have been passionate about food since I became economically independent and started cooking. Now I cook everyday for my family. I acquired my knowledge and technics following cooking lessons given by chefs in the Loire Valley. The rest is just passion and seriousness. Indeed I am super strict about the way I deal with this subject and buy only local. When it comes to choosing products, there is no kidding !!! But then, do we enjoy ?! SPORTS I practice sports everyday, especially crossfit and running. I consider myself fit but will adapt to the level of my clients who join my running tour in order to make the experience a great moment. LOIRE VALLEY The Loire Valley with its 300 châteaux from the French Renaissance is the perfect region for me, my favorite field in art being architecture. Only an hour away by train from Paris, it offers a relaxing way to discover some of the greatest masterpieces of architecture and splendid French countryside. As a licensed tour guide, I have all the flexibility to welcome you and create the tour that best suits your wishes. French Guiding Licence. Master degree in languages from the Angers University. Driving licence. None
