I was born and brought up in a town 50 km from Lyon, but I’ve always felt “Lyonnais”. After finishing my degree in modern languages at Lyon III University, I became an Italian teacher and then taught French in Italy. I also have 6 years of marketing experience. I’ve always loved history and art and I my first opportunity to test out my guiding skills came when my Italian students visited me in Lyon. I then started giving tours to Erasmus students at Lyon II University, so my passion for this amazing profession was born! Today, I’m a qualified professional guide. What can you expect during my tours? Lots of gastronomy, humor, anecdotes, participation and games. I like to create a fun and friendly atmosphere, and I’m fascinated by the origins of everything; from history, to languages and wines.
