Bonjour à tous! Hello everybody! and Welcome to Paris! I'm happy to meet you and share with you my love and passion for France and its secrets! I am Zoé, a licensed guide based in Paris but I guide also throughout the whole of France, thanks to my own minivan car. As far as I can remember I have always been keen on history, architecture, secrets, and mysteries. France and Paris in particular are full of intriguing things! So this is a perfect place for you if you are an adventurer and new experiences seeker! My skills are in history and "investigation" and I have 27 years of guiding experience, starting my career as a guide in Italy and following in France and Paris. My area of expertise is fine arts, architecture, and general world history as well as brilliant relationship skills which enable me to provide tailor-made exclusive tours with the utmost personal approach to ensure the best guiding performance for clients. So I promise you adventures, new sensations and experiences, and just fun! On my tours you will experience and discover the most hideous royal secrets. . . murders, poison affairs, high state betrayal stories, stories about Royal murders in the most sadly notorious areas, love stories in Versailles and Loire Castles, and enter amazing Temple Knights' mysteries. Enjoy outstanding french cuisine, and experience truffle hunting with specially trained dogs at a truffle farm. Taste the Best mi-cuit foie-gras with wine. Enjoy breakfast at an oyster farm like under Louis the 14th the Sun King in Versailles, I can open for you the doors of the most prestigious wine châteaux: Petrus, Cheval Blanc, Auson, etc. I can offer you private visits to closed public-private castles run by Dukes and Counts, introduce you to the very restricted old nobility world to dine with Dukes and Duchesses at their family castles, whose ancestors fought side by side with the French Kings, and were rewarded with lands and titles for their loyalty. Show you the real True France, far away from overcrowded cities and traffic jams, to discover French thinking, food, and traditions and even embrace the french everyday style of life! Join me on this unforgettable exciting journey about Paris and France with ToursByLocals!
