About Me

Some of my earliest memories are of visiting English castles with my Dad.


My favourite subject at school, my university speciality; rarely does a day go by when I don't read, watch or listen to something historical. So it would be fair to say that I'm kinda into History. I'm lucky to make a living doing what I love.


If you like History too, and are coming to Paris, I'd love to share what I know with you.


As both an experienced tour guide and teacher, I know how to make my subjects accessible for adults and children alike. I'm also a fanatic for detail. My research takes me deep down the rabbit hole of the story of Paris. Follow me as far down as you'd like to go!


When it comes to my values, they centre on three principles: making History exciting, specialist knowledge and ensuring my guests feel at home in Paris.


Overall, I want to make you happy to have found my website.


So why not make your trip to Paris extra special?


My lifetime of passion, education and more than 10 years of experience and research in Paris are just a short message away.


I hope to see you soon!

There's no better way to visit a city than to get a friend to show you around. It's this type of atmosphere I like to create.
