Introduction:

I was born and bred in Paris but I have made London my home and I absolutely love my adopted city of over 30 years.

I am a lover of history and art of any kind and I bring that passion to every tour I lead. Whether you’re eager to explore royal history, discover hidden treasures or stumble upon fabulous street art, I create experiences that are both informative and fun, tailored to your interests and pace.

I can show you the “must-see” locations, from centuries-old landmarks such as Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London and St Paul’s Cathedral, to world-class museums (British Museum, National Gallery, Victoria & Albert, Natural History Museum, Tate Britain, Churchill War Rooms).

I also enjoy conducting walks exploring areas such as Westminster and St James’s, the City of London where the Romans landed and established Londinium, the East End & Spitalfields area that has seen waves of immigration from the 1500s onwards, Notting Hill, Covent Garden, Soho, Southwark, Bermondsey, Rotherhithe and Maritime Greenwich.

In London I also offer themed tours such as Jack the Ripper, street art, Churchill/WWII and James Bond.

If you want to go a bit further afield, I can show you around Hampton Court Palace, Windsor Castle. 

Last but not least,  I am also qualified to do guided tours of Canterbury, Oxford, the Cotswolds, Stratford/Avon, Bath, Stonehenge and Salisbury. 

I like to think of myself as easy going and adaptable with a very relaxed and light hearted approach to guiding, and a good sense of humour! Giving the clients in my care a good time is every bit as important as the information they hear.

Bilingual French/English and accredited to guide in both languages.
