Hello there! I did a comercial for my tours on yt "manuchaco Are you ready to travel differently?" I am an actor. The last movie I worked for was with Halle Berry! I am part of the cast of "The Serpent Queen" on Starz. The first one was an american thriller called "Influencers". I will be also part of "Lupin". I'm madly in love with my city, my purpose on Earth is to make this love viral for this breathtaken city. More than tours I offer unique experiences. Art, History, french Culture, Architecture and Urbanism are just some of the highlights of my favourite Tours. I really love to show, avoiding the classic tourist spots, the best hidden gems off the beaten path around the city. . . that only with a local like me you can discover, as a friend who takes you for a stroll in his favorite places! I have really good skills in storytelling, especially when I am able to make a connection with our walk. My goal is to make your dream come true in the "city of lights", and to make your holidays more authentic, you can consider my tour as an introduction to the Parisian way of life. We have to keep in mind that Paris has 2000 years of History! It used to be a royal city, a capital of art, and a universal model for a modern city. Unfortunately, to modernize it, the almost medieval town has been erased, but something remained. . . ⚠️ I am NOT doing tour in national museum as Louvre, Versailles, war museum. . . ABOUT ME: My name is Emmanuel, you can call me Manu it is easier, I am french, and I was born in a tiny city surrounded by Loire Valley Castles, as Chambord, designed by Leonardo Da Vinci for the sharp Renaissance King François I. Maybe for this reason I am fond of french History and Architecture. It is more than a hobby or a job, it is an obsession! All my trips, visits, documentaries, books, and even discussions are related to, the roman empire, Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Art Nouveau (I also really love languages, cinema and travelling ). . . You have to be warned, You will feel a lot of passion during my tour! Recently, I was really lucky to be an extra in an american series called "The Serpent Queen" with Samantha Morton. I was a Renaissance gardener under Catherine de Medicis! On season 2 I was part of . . . oups! I cannot tell! On december 28th I was for the first time on TV for a french serie, I was a noble. It was really pleasant to have the impression to be part of french History. When I am watching a movie, I really enjoy watching "making of", during the shooting of the series, I felt like a kid going to DisneyWorld for the first time! I used to be a french teacher for foreigners for several years. I had over of 40 nationalities! I taught doctors, lawyers, and diplomats. At the beginning of the week, I had to show the city to my students, then I realized it was my favorite part of my work! because I really love to wander and discover new hidden buildings. -Bachelor's degree in History and linguistic -Master's degree in order to teach French for foreigners I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments or museums.

Overview of your Loire Valley tour

Chenonceau is the most renowned castles in france after Versailles! This Jewel is known for their Renaissance architecture and picturesque riverside settings. With a knowledgeable guide, who was an extra for an american serie about Catherine de Medicis (Samantha Morton) called "The Serpent Queen" shot in Chenonceau, you will discover the most romantic Castle in the world! So, we will speak about History and Architecture but we will also speak about cinema as well! It is nicknamed "the ladies chateau" because Its owners had only been women. It has gorgeous Renaissance gardens divided in 2 parts : Catherine de Medici's garden and Diane de Poitiers's garden (the King's Mistress!!!). Those 2 women used to hate each other... But the most important and original thing about this castle is its structure : It is a castle and a bridge at the same time!!! By the way this bridge-castle was the boarder between the free zone and the occupied zone during WW2.
