Tour guide in Paris Thierry C.

Hi, I'm Thierry! My love for History was sparked by my Corsican Grandfather, a war Veteran and Knight of the Legion of Honor. As early as elementary school, History was my favorite subject. My purpose is to share my passion in a way that is entertaining and easy to understand. I have spent 17 years in the U. S. and the U. K. and having been immersed in other cultures and national narratives gives me the hindsight to approach historical events with different perspectives. My favorite period is the late 1700s: the French Revolution, Napoleon, and the American Revolution. Times when a few brave men, moved by their conviction in a greater cause, changed the course of history. I have been offering tours for five years on a full time basis although I had started this activity long before on week-ends. My knowledge is drawn from years of reading hundreds of books from different sources and points of view and attending history talks and art lectures from experts such as Jean Tulard, Thierry Lentz, David Chanteranne, Pierre Branda, etc. and attended courses from "Les Paris de l'Art" (Art history from Paris Museums Organisation). Please note I am not a licensed guide yet and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments. Also, I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.
