Bonjour! I grew up on the coast of Britanny - Western France, near the famous Normandy. I used to live in Paris for many years and moved not long ago to Versailles, the capital city of the french monarchy where the famous Sun King's Palace is. I guess it was meant to be because I've been fascinated by the royal history of France since I was a child… Later on, I discovered a special interest for foreign languages and lived in several countries to work on that (US, Spain, Mexico, Italy and Brazil). And if you add the fact that I love driving, then it's been the perfect recipe for me to become a driver-guide and take you all around France to share my love of this country. I have worked as a guide for a decade and specialized in private tours because I want to be able to share with you more than historical information. You actually really get to meet the people you greet only in private tours. It is definitely the best option to discover at your own pace and I'll be happy to offer flexibility, as this is what I look for when I travel myself. The region of Paris is usually the part that people first discover, there is so much to see! However it is also really worth to do trips outside Paris, to the WW2 landing beaches of Normandy, the Champagne vineyards, the Castles of the Loire Valley, and more. I can take you to all those places and you will experience the variety of the wonders of France, whether it comes to landscapes, architecture, food or wines. I look forward to hearing from you, knowing your expectations and getting started for a beautiful trip!

Overview of your Paris tour

Bruges was first developped as a fortified position to protect the coast from the Viking raids. In the 12th century, a huge flood miraculously created new access to the North Sea, turning Bruges into a major European port. This was the beginning of an amazing development that made Bruges an international financial and trading center. The economic development attracted architects, artists, and painters, who led the Flemish Renaissance. In the 16th century, as the main access to the North Sea was sanding up, Bruges was on the verge of decline and could not resist the rise in power of Antwerp. It is only in the 20th century that the world rediscovered the treasures of Bruges, making it one of the most attractive towns to visit in Europe!
