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)

Private guide (ex antiques dealer) to visit the biggest Antiques market in the world
Overview of your Paris tour
I was an Antiques dealer for over 15 years so I can lead you on a walking tour to many of the secret hidden corners of the amazing Puces de St-Ouen, Paris's vibrant giant flea market (the biggest in the world with over 2500 dealers). I can negotiate the best prices and translate for you and I can even deal with the shipping company for you if you purchase something big. You can't imagine what you can find there! Different areas have different themes from decorative furniture, antique textile, paintings, ceramics, glassware, lighting, prints, maps, vintage clothing, jewelry, etc. . . If you need help with negotiating or having your items packed or exported, as I said, I will take care of it all for you. You'll learn about the history of the market too. This will be one market visit you will never forget!
