The City Essentials - Bordeaux Starterpack Walking Tour

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!
