Tour Guide for now nine wonderful years, I am a very positive and ongoing person. It is really hard to get away the smile from my face ;o) When I decided to get my guiding license, more than 9 years ago now, I thought first, that it could be a summer job while on holiday from teaching, but I quickly realized what a great job guiding can be. I use to say, that now, my students are older than before, and are now really very interested in what they want me to speak about. Even better. I started doing tours for friends from California, years ago, then friends of their friends, and I now take people on my tours who become friends ;o) I live in in Normandy, where I was born, but I also lived in Paris, in the US , and in some other countries. That gives me the ability to understand other cultures and to adapt myself. Yet, Paradise is for me "here" in the green pastures of Normandy. Both my grandparents lived through the German occupation, and both were in the French Resistance. I have a very strong connection to my region. That really started my passion for digging in the past. After an education in Normandy, I went studying History and Journalism in Paris at the Sorbonne. As a real History buff, I have created some unique itineraries no one else did before me, like the real Viking tour on the footsteps of the Vikings of Normandy. I try as much as possible to do things the best I can. I am a perfectionist, and I assume. I am married and have two lovely daughters. Besides my family and my job, I love horses. I have horses at home. I will sure see you very soon on one of my Tours. Bye. MA in History Licensed guide. VTC Licensed under DLS.

On this tour of the Palace of Versailles, I will have you delve into the amazing history of the Sun King, Louis 14th. He was the kind of men who thinks out of of the box, I like to say. He had no limits whatsoever to anything, and especially to his pride. On that day, you'll understand that Versailles is much more than a castle. You will understand the complex architecture, the artistic and cultural references through the many paintings, ceilings and sculptures, you'll see that this is the soul of the king, who would slowly but surely set the embers for 1789 and the French revolution. I will also take you through the history of the castle until that terrible day of October 5th 1789 when the Royal Family and Marie Antoinette had to leave Versailles for ever. You'll discover the Great Apartments, the gardens, and enjoy a gourmet lunch in the palace at Angelina Café with the favorite cakes and pastries of Marie Antoinette.
