I am Zoé, a licensed guide based in Paris but I guide also throughout the whole of France, thanks to my own minivan car. As far as I can remember I have always been keen on history, architecture, secrets, and mysteries. France and Paris in particular are full of intriguing things! So this is a perfect place for you if you are an adventurer and new experiences seeker! My skills are in history and "investigation" and I have 27 years of guiding experience, starting my career as a guide in Italy and following in France and Paris. My area of expertise is fine arts, architecture, and general world history as well as brilliant relationship skills which enable me to provide tailor-made exclusive tours with the utmost personal approach to ensure the best guiding performance for clients.
