Fluent in English, German, and Greek, I’m a natural storyteller with a deep love for history, art, wine, and culture. With over a decade of experience in guiding, I bring a rich perspective to Bordeaux’s past and present — from Roman Roots, through the Middle Ages, the Wine Business, the French Revolution, and up to Modern Life in Bordeaux. I’ve guided curious travellers through Bordeaux, Saint-Émilion, the Médoc, Sauternes, Poitiers, Lascaux, and Arcachon. Whether you’re drawn to medieval intrigue, ancient civilisations, the intricacies of the Bordeaux wine, or you're just looking for an authentic walk through this city, I’ll tailor the experience to match your interests and your pace. Expect insider tips on the best local spots — and plenty of good stories along the way. Let’s make history come alive — together!

A Walking Tour of Poitiers’ Iconic Churches, Squares, and Hidden Corners
Overview of your Bordeaux tour
Begin your day in Poitiers at the Église Notre-Dame-la-Grande, famed for its richly sculpted Romanesque façade. Just steps away, admire the elegant Town Hall (Hôtel de Ville) on lively Place du Maréchal Leclerc—once the palace of Eleanor of Aquitaine and today a symbol of civic pride—an ideal spot to pause for coffee on a sunny terrace. From there, wander through the charming small streets lined with local shops and rich with history, making your way to the imposing Cathédrale Saint-Pierre, commissioned by Eleanor herself. Conclude at the peaceful Église Sainte-Radegonde, dedicated to the city’s revered saint, a tranquil close to your journey through Poitiers’ spiritual and civic heart.
