My name is Vincent an official tour guide/lecturer in Paris and France. I am a licensed tour guide in France and I have been working since 1989. It was the year when Paris celebrated the centenary of the Eiffel Tower as well as the bicentennial of the French Revolution. My knowledge in art history and History grew over the years and I like to share it with visitors. Most of my work experience has been in conducting small groups and private tours because I like interaction to be able to adapt to desires and expectations. I am flexible with families. I can guide in different means: driving, biking and walking. These can give you the possibility to discover Paris and its culture with a wide range of aspects such as food, architecture and also to tour the different museums inside such as the Louvre, Orsay, Orangerie and the palace of Versailles. Departing from Paris I can show you the diversity of the countryside with the impressionist touch of Giverny, the château of Fontainebleau, the cathedral of Chartres or the Landing Beaches of Normandy as well as the battlefields of the First World War in Champagne and Picardie and more. . . So do not hesitate to contact me. Guide conferencier and licensed driver
