Have you always dreamed of jumping behing the curtain of History? The one that your textbooks have ignored? This is timely! My experience as a licensed professional guide has taught me that you always take away the most intriguing facts from a visit. I want to share with you the little secrets that you won't find anywhere else, and that took me years to collect. What I love above all is to immerse my groups in the heart of history to truly "experience" these details as if you had lived then. With good humor and sometimes a little too much excitement, I am happy to share my passion with you! Degree from the Sorbonne University Several years experience for touring companies Excellent level at TOEIC exam in English I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle.
