Hi! I was born and raised in Paris, and I’m passionate about sharing the culture, history, and everyday life of my city with visitors. Alongside guiding, I’m an author and illustrator of historical comics — which gives me a unique, visual way of bringing history and the French lifestyle to life. And don’t worry — jokes are always included at no extra charge!
