Tour guide in Paris Celia S.

Bonjour et Bienvenue! Whether you're a first-time visitor to Paris or a seasoned Francophile already familiar with the country's highlights - Paris, Bordeaux, Reims, Loire Valley, Provence, the Cote d'Azur or elsewhere - I'd like to welcome you and make your stay in France a pleasure! A little bit about me - I was born and grew up in Hong Kong, and my passion for people led me to study hotel management. After traveling around the world and working for a French hospitality group in global sales, I fell in love with Paris and a Frenchman over 20 years ago. The twin love affairs continue, and even today - over two decades later - Paris still surprises and charms me. France is a beautiful country with so much to see and discover - not to mention revisit! - and so I spend my vacations with my family traveling around the country to learn as much as I can about French culture and traditions. Following my earlier career in the hospitality industry, I then re-trained as a French government-certified Guide-Conférencier so I could share my love of my adopted country with others. The course takes over one year full-time studying French culture and heritage, and only fully qualified Guide-Conférenciers can take guests inside museums and monuments. I'm also one of only a small number of tour guides who hold a further qualification to take guests around the private apartments of kings in the stunning Chateau of Versailles. Let me help you with your next visit to France - everyone has different ideas about what they'd like to do while they're here, and so I'm delighted to offer a collection of bespoke visits to some of France's most iconic monuments and sites, completely customized to your ideas, wishes and dreams. Just let me know what you'd like to do, and I'll create a personalized itinerary for you to introduce you to the very best of Paris and France!
