French-Canadian Ancestry Tour in Old Quebec

Bonjour ! Discover Quebec-City, Lévis, and the surrounding areas with me as your private guide. I am available to take you on a journey through history, culture, and heritage almost every day. My TBL calendar may show as "red" but don't let that deter you! I often work with colleagues to ensure I can still give you a tour. If you see that I am unavailable, feel free to reach out to me and I will do my best to accommodate you. What can you expect from my tours? - A warm and friendly experience - A thorough overview of the area, at a relaxed pace - Insights into local history and captivating anecdotes - A better understanding of political and cultural issues - An exploration of French-Canadian culture, including food, language, architecture, and more - Personalized attention and answers to your questions, along with recommendations for the best spots to visit. I specialize in several areas of focus: - Military history - Women's history - American history in Quebec City - Off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods like Old Lévis, Old Lauzon, St Jean Baptiste, and St Roch - Genealogy-based tours using your family tree, if available - Polysensorial tours for the blind and visually impaired. Uncover your French-Canadian roots with a tailored tour, based on your family tree. If you don't have one, I work with a professional genealogist who can help. My military history tours showcase military landmarks, monuments, and discuss sieges, battles, and the impact of military history on Quebec. Each tour is tailored depending on your specific needs, interests, pace, background, preferred itinerary. Weather and crowds will have an influence too. Whether you want to focus on the highlights, go off the beaten path, or a combination, I am here to make it happen. I am not only a tour guide who is passionate about my work but also a member of a local historical society, a gardener, and a parent of three young kids. I was a beekeeper (and look to have bees again later). I worked for the Hôtel de Glace as a guide, behind-the-scene guide and night guide. I've a background as amateur oarsman in Strasbourg. Originally from Strasbourg, I lived there for many years and worked as a guide for ToursByLocals. I then spent three years in Trois-Rivières and have been residing near Lévis for several years now.
