I was born in Normandy, France, where I also studied. After graduating in 1981, I served in the French Army (Gendarmerie). My dedication to service led me directly to the tourism and service industry where I have been a guide for the past 10 years. And as a true native of France, I have the natural ability to reveal the history and culture of my country by creating memorable experiences for my clients. I also bring with me a passion for art. I discovered the joy of painting when I was given a painting set on my eighth birthday - It was love at first sight! I continued to refine my artistic talent, under a Belgium artist, while I traveled across Europe buying art and antiques. After many years of managing my own antiques and art gallery in Paris, I ventured to the United States in 1999 and spent about 14 years there. Since then, I have returned to Paris and I balance my time cross-continent as a professional guide and a listed artist. WSET diploma.(Sommelier)

VIP tour in Loire Valley
Overview of your Paris tour
Your tour begins at your hotel, where, together with your English-speaking Guide and expert, you'll board an AC luxury car with a private driver. As you travel to the Loire Valley, your guide will tell you all about the region, pointing out sights of interest along the way as well as share stories with you about the French way to experience life and more. Direction Le Chateau de Chambord. It is the largest castle of the Loire valley. You'll learn about its strange history, originally planned as a hunting lodge for a king, and climb the staircase 'designed' by Leonardo da Vinci. Once the visit ended, you will be driving along the Loire Valley and have a real French lunch. In the afternoon, we'll tour the Château de Chenonceau, also known as "le château des dames". Don't miss the spectacular and beautiful bridge over the river Cher and the great gardens designed for both Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medicis. I promise you will never forget this wonderful day in the heart of the French renaissance.
