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)

Patrice is a good communicator. He replied quickly to questions before the tour date and made sure we had his cell number to touch base if needed. On the day of the tour Patrice arrived on time and because he included a driver, he was able to sit with us and explain things along the route. He makes sure he understands what level of understanding you already have and what your expectations are. The tour was very interesting at every stop and we enjoyed our day very much. I would recommend Patrice as a guide. He was very professional, knowledgeable and accommodating.

If you know exactly where you want to go and don't want to learn anything then just hire a driver. If you want to learn the beauty of French culture, food, champagne while seeing the beautiful country side then Patrice is THE guide. Put down your phone and soak up France. You'll learn a lot and will be very grateful that he thought through every detail for you. Joie de vivre! Merci, Patrice!

This was an excellent tour. Patrice was very knowledgeable and took us to a very fine winery. Ended up buying 60 bottles of Champagne. Absolutely enjoyed the whole trip. Would recommend highly.

Patrice arrived on time and was very professional and knowledgeable. The tour included a private van and driver so it made the tour very seamless. All of the champagne houses Patrice recommended were exceptional but the smallest vendor was very interesting and gave us a thorough insight on champagne making in France. I would recommend any of the tours offered by Patrice.

Patrice is amazing! We had a wonderful tour in the Champagne region and truly enjoyed our day with Patrice. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and about champagne. He tailored the tour to our wants and needs and took us to some truly incredible champagne houses, we were able to tour one large one and some smaller ones which is what we wanted. It was a magical day and we highly recommend a tour with Patrice he was truly the best and we had such a wonderful day!

We visited the beautiful Reims Cathedral, toured the Pommery Champagne caves, and visited two small champagne houses and enjoyed the countryside outside of Paris during our drive. The highlights of our trip were the tour by the winemaker of the small champagne house Forget-Chemin and our delicious lunch. Our guide, Patrice, had our trip well organized and had very interesting facts and knowledge of the region. Although fun, we felt it was overpriced. Paris traffic can be bad, long day of travel.
