My name is Vincent an official tour guide/lecturer in Paris and France. I am a licensed tour guide in France and I have been working since 1989. It was the year when Paris celebrated the centenary of the Eiffel Tower as well as the bicentennial of the French Revolution. My knowledge in art history and History grew over the years and I like to share it with visitors. Most of my work experience has been in conducting small groups and private tours because I like interaction to be able to adapt to desires and expectations. I am flexible with families. I can guide in different means: driving, biking and walking. These can give you the possibility to discover Paris and its culture with a wide range of aspects such as food, architecture and also to tour the different museums inside such as the Louvre, Orsay, Orangerie and the palace of Versailles. Departing from Paris I can show you the diversity of the countryside with the impressionist touch of Giverny, the château of Fontainebleau, the cathedral of Chartres or the Landing Beaches of Normandy as well as the battlefields of the First World War in Champagne and Picardie and more. . . So do not hesitate to contact me. Guide conferencier and licensed driver

Overview of your Paris tour
Despite the early pick up at your hotel by 7:30 AM, this is one of my favorite tours. Heading the south of France by the A10 highway, and passing near Orleans, we get to the Loire valley area, where more than 200 castles where built. You can imagine that it will be just "a little" too short to do them all in one day, so we will visit the 3 castles that I consider the most representatives ( if you don't mind). I will drive you through the areas of "la Touraine" and "la Sologne". And we will visit the castles of Chambord, Chenonceau, and Amboise, where I will be pleased to guide you through the rooms. Lunch will be at Chenonceau or Amboise depending on our schedule and we will be back at the hotel around 7 PM if the conditions are good, traffic wise.

Fantastic day with Vincent !!

Trip to Loire Valley with Vincent was awesome! Vincent loves history and he was very knowledgeable about all the area. Vincent was very pleasant and accommodating and we all had a wonderful time. He also took us to a beautiful place for lunch. If we're back in France, we would love to have Vincent as our guide!

We spend a delightful day with Vincent. He is extremely knowledgeable and made sure we were able to see a couple of beautiful chateaus as well as a delightful wine tasting. He knows the Loire valley very well and his commentary along the way was perfect to highlight the sites we were seeing. He is flexible and wants to make sure he is meeting your expectations. He even helped us get the required Covid test. I definitely recommend him to others.

Great tour of the Loire Valley and castles with Vincent. Thanks Vincent!
Michael G.United States
Excellent tour! We wanted to see & experience the Loire Valley and we did. Vincent asked us what we wanted to see & do and we told him we wanted to include time for food and wine along with the castles. He managed a schedule that took us to Chenonceaux and Chambord, where we toured both of the chateau's. In between the two, he took us on a walking tour of Amboise where we had a very good lunch. Then, we drove to Montrichard where we had a tour of a wine cave and a wine tasting. I highly recommend Vincent.
