I was born in Montreal in the district Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. Globetrotter, very young I travelled across the world: Europe, North Africa, Latin America, the United States and Canada. Extended stays in the cities of Paris, Los Angeles and Toronto. Traveler, student and practising a thousand and one jobs. Studies in Dramatic Art at the Academy of Dramatic Art of Montreal, self-taught painter, and formation as a tourist guide at the Quebec Institute of Tourism and Hotel Management (ITHQ), my experiences and my academic studies give me the essential tools to understand and tell about the Montreal and Quebec life of yesterday and today. Curious, I keep posted about the avant-garde Montrealer in the arts, the culture and the social movements. Very good historic knowledge of Montreal, Quebec and Canada, with more than 30 years of experience as Tour Leader and Guide in North America and, since 2002, Tour Guide of the City of Montreal with license and permit. Working with an international clientele, of different cultures and religions as well as with the LGBTQI+ community, I know how to adapt myself to several situations to give you unforgettable visits of my country. Licensed Montreal City Tour Guide. Certified ITHQ (Tourism and Hotel Management) as a Montreal Tourist Guide in 2001/2002. Member of APGT (Professional Association of Tourist Guides of Montreal).

Historic and visual visit to discover the history of the city since Jacques Cartier's arrival on the island of Montreal, in 1535, until today. We will walk the old streets and I will tell you about the life of yesterday and today in the Old Montreal and the Old Port. Architectural details will make us travel in the time of New France, from its foundation in 1642 to its wars and colonial revolutions, including a short period of Montreal as an American city, and finally the arrival of the English and the Scots who made it a very prosperous city. We will also see how Montreal became, as of 1850, the cradle of the industrialization in Canada and the metropolis of the country until the end of the 1960s. Saint-Jacques Street, with its Classical and Victorian buildings, testimony of the Canadian Golden Age, and the must-see Old Montreal sector will help us understand the birth and the heart of a city.
