As a native of Bordeaux who's deeply rooted in its history, born into a Bordelaise family split between the city and the Right Bank countryside, I'm thrilled to share the wonders of my hometown with you. My mother was the first to educate me about the beauty of our city's heritage, so I naturally pursued degrees in Art History and History, graduating from the University of Bordeaux Montaigne. My journey took me abroad to UCSB, California, and the south of France, where I obtained my guide card in 2015. Since then, I've immersed myself in various aspects of tourism and cultural mediation, collaborating with different professional organizations to craft diverse tours across Bordeaux and its surrounding vineyards. From sailing on the Garonne and Dordogne rivers to promoting eco-friendly cyclo tourism, I've embraced a range of experiences. My guiding philosophy revolves around unraveling Bordeaux's complex history through engaging narratives and intimate insights. Whether it's a classical tour or an off-the-beaten-path adventure, I aim to make each experience playful and participative, providing you with a deeper understanding of our vibrant city. Beyond guiding, I'm deeply involved in my sister's organic wine estate near St Emilion, allowing me to offer unique insights into Bordeaux's wine culture. From historical perspectives to technical approaches to viticulture, I'm here to accompany you on a journey through our region's vineyards. I'm committed to creating meaningful connections with our surroundings. Whether it's a leisurely stroll in Bordeaux or a full-day exploration, my tours are adaptable to your preferences, ensuring a personalized and memorable experience. Let's decode Bordeaux's way of life together and create unforgettable memories in this beautiful city!

Overview of your Bordeaux tour

Immerse yourself in the city's history as you explore its iconic monuments while indulging in the authentic flavors of the region, with a special focus on the most cherished local delicacies. During your tour, I'll introduce you to the secrets and legends related to our most famous food specialties. You'll taste the iconic Bordeaux canelés, those small cakes crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, true gems of regional patisserie. Also, treat yourself to the delicate Dunes Blanches, those airy almond pastries that melt in your mouth, showcasing Bordeaux's artisanal craftsmanship. But that's not all! Among other surprises involving chocolate and wine, this tour also offers you the chance to discover a unique unknown regional specialty: caviar from the estuary. Carefully prepared by local producers, this refined delicacy will introduce you to a new facet of Bordeaux's gastronomy. Join me on this exquisite half day for a total immersion into the soul of Bordeaux, where local flavors take centre stage.
