Born and raised in Villefranche-sur-Saône (capital of the Beaujolais located 30 miles from Lyon), I moved to Lyon to pursue my studies in Art history at the University Lyon Lumière. During my academic training, I had the chance to be part of the Erasmus yearly exchange program in the city of Heidelberg in Germany. This experience allowed me to discover new cultures and open up internationally. Shortly after, I obtained my national interpreter-guide diploma and I started working for a museum, on cruise ships and for tourist agencies before starting my own business. Seeing the smiles on the visitors' faces is one of the many reasons why I love my job. Passionate about painting, sculpture and architecture, I like to focus on these areas during my tours. The beautiful city of Lyon is an open air museum with more than 2000 years of history. Follow me in the different viewpoints in the Brotteaux district and in Michelin starred restaurants. A curious personal detail: when I'm not guiding, I'm painting and dancing.
