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)

I enjoyed my tour with Patrice. His knowledge and love of Paris and its landmarks makes the day engaging. I learned a lot about Montmartre even though I have previously visited. Thank you Patrice.

We spent the morning at Pere Lachaise Cemetery and the afternoon in the Montmartre district with Patrice. He is very knowledgeable about both areas and was interesting and fun to be with. At Pere Lachaise he covered the history of the cemetery, took us to all the famous graves and told us the stories behind many others. Having a guide there is a must and Patrice did a great job. At Montmartre, he covered the interesting history of the area as well as how people live there today. We highly recommend Patrice as a guide in Paris.

We had such an amazing tour of Paris with Patrice. We were able to see all the main sites in Paris in one day. He shared a great amount of history with us and showed us how to use the trains. It was the perfect first day in such a beautiful city!

Patrice knows Paris inside and out. He arranged a private car for us due to mobility issues and then proceeded to show us the highlights as well as some not so frequently visited jewels. It was a great way for our friends to see Paris for the first time as well as a refresher for us. And the highlight was a late lunch at an intimate local restaurant at the base of Montmartre. Funny and personable, he made Paris come alive. I highly recommend him as well as this tour. You won't be disappointed.

Patrice was a wonderful, punctual, and knowledgeable tour guide. We enjoyed all of his information as well as his humor. He was very safety minded. Patrice recommended excellent restaurants and places to spend our free time. Patrice is very passionate about the areas history. We definitely felt like we experienced Paris in our short visit. I would highly recommend and would reach out again if ever back in France.

Arriving by Eurostar from London, we had seven hours to explore Paris before returning. Originally we had planned to explore on our own - that would have been a huge mistake. Patrice met us at the Eurostar station and gave us an amazing tour of Paris. Notre Dame Cathedral, Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Montmartre were all on the tour. I was able to get some great photos! We had an excellent lunch at a local restaurant and even had time for some souvenir shopping. Patrice made sure that we got to see everything that was on our list. His knowledge of the city and its history is impressive. He even took the time to escort us back to the Eurostar station. If we had tried to tour Paris on our own, we would have missed a lot. If you are considering a Paris guide - choose Patrice. You won’t be disappointed!
