Hello I have been working in Tourisme ,as a guide in Paris since 1999, to accompany groups of visitors to tourists attractions whether one day trips or longer visits, and give them information and insights that help them make the most of the experience. Being healthy with lots of energy and confidence are my positive points. Sightseeing advice, problem solving,of course being calm is necessary in our job. i have worked for, Eiffel Tower, number of big travel companies in Paris as free lance, Viking cruise and in the hotels as a receptionist for more then ten years. I went to school in London and got my school diploma from UK. It is important to feel motivated and inspired in your career. Tourism combines travel , culture, hospitality, and is a pleasure to go to work everyday for me, to meet people from all over the world.
We will start our tour at the Eiffel Tower. I will provide you with a short overview of Gustave Eiffel as well as some of his other monuments. The 30 years of his life were enriched by a history full of new developments. I will give you all the key information on this. In this area there was once a massive and beautiful palace named Trocadero, the story of which you will find out.
From there we will walk towards the Champs de Mars Park, then onto the military school which the young Bonaparte attended. I will give you more detailed explanations as we go along.
Next we will head to the Invalides, the glory of louis XIV and the monarchy under Napoleon Bonaparte. This is where Napoleon's impressive tumb lies, including the tumbs of other political figures.
Our walk will continue towards the Army Museum, one of France's largest military museums, which opened its doors in 1796.
Finally, we will have the opportunity to get a glance of the statue of Auguste Rodin (the thinker). This statue is located in the nearby garden of the Rodin Museum.
At the end of our walk, if you feel like a snack and/or a drink, I can recommend you a stroll down the 'Rue Clerc', a nice food market street which is in the neighbourhood.
I will be standing in front of the Pullman Hotel, rue Jean Rey, with a poster 'walking tour'.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
