When I meet foreign friends or when I visit another country, the stereotype of French is often described to me as :
I hope, that after we would have done guided tours together, you will have an other opinion of the french and at least myself
Parisian, although born into a Breton family from the Côtes-d’Armor (which undoubtedly explains my attachment to the sea… and my sometimes a little stubborn character), I am passionate about my city and I like to introduce it for several years.
Sharing is almost second nature to me. Perhaps it is the logical continuation of a life spent as both dad and teacher in higher education: transmit, tell, explain… but always with pleasure.
In the first part of my life, I had the chance to travel the world. I have wonderful memories and especially a great gratitude to all these friends who made me discover their country and their culture. Today, I am simply trying to reciprocate by showing mine: Paris and France.
I like history—so you won’t escape a few historical background updates.
I love architecture—we will inevitably talk about monuments and architectural styles.
I love art—we will look for it wherever it is found: in museums, of course, but also on the street, sometimes where one does not expect it.
And then I like gastronomy and the art of living à la française. It would therefore be unthinkable not to share with you some carefully selected good addresses.
On the other hand, I prefer to be honest: if you are looking for a very conventional visit, with a very formal speech and a resolutely professorial tone… I could recommend excellent colleagues to you.
What I wish above all is that you take pleasure. May this visit be a lively, pleasant moment, and may you leave happy to have discovered – or rediscovered – Paris, through its great history and its small stories.
Learning, of course… but always in a good mood.
