Bonjour! My name is Caroline. I was born and raised in the north of France, between Paris and Normandy. Then I moved to study in Nancy, north-west. I discovered vineyards and wine by doing the harvest in Champagne when I was a student. I really enjoyed this environment and atmosphere and that is why I arrived in Bordeaux in 2015! First, it was only for a two-week stay to pick up the grapes in Saint-Emilion. I finally fell in love with the area and decided to stay. Having passed a Bachelor in English Language and Culture + Cultural Tourism, I found a job as a tour guide in Saint-Emilion the year after. I worked there for 3 years, and kept discovering a lot about the area and wines. Then I decided to become an official tour guide, passed the degree to get the license, and settled closer to Bordeaux city. Now, I live just outside of Bordeaux, between the city centre and the closest vineyards of Pessac-Léognan. I enjoy being able to cycle to the historic and dynamic city centre and enjoy the surrounding nature at the same time. I am passionate about gastronomy and wine, but also about history, cinema, literature and sports. I would be more than happy to take you on one of my food, historic or wine tours in or around Bordeaux. I guide in English and French and try to work on my Spanish skills. I can do walking and bike tours in town, with or without tastings, and also wine tours all around Bordeaux (it is also possible to meet directly in the vineyards or in Saint-Emilion). Feel free to reach out to me for more details or to set up a tailor-made tour. Licensed Tour Guide WSET 3 For my tours I have no restrictions

Follow me outside Bordeaux city centre to discover the former harbour and now trendy district of Bacalan and a new Arts & crafts center. I will tell you more about the history of Bordeaux and this special district, before going to the arts center to discover more about the industrial past of the area and meet some local artists. There, you can also immerse yourself and follow a workshop directly with these artists.
