The king's gardener, the guillotine, and your afternoon in the park
By the end of June, Paris will be luxuriating in nearly 18 hours of sunlight a day. You can find me in the (no hyperbole) extraordinary parks. They are the physical legacy of a genius, a king, and centuries of revolution. This is the story of how a royal gardener named André Le Nôtre accidentally gave us the perfect place to drink rosé on a Tuesday afternoon.
Open for business!
Guiding is a service. I am moved by how face-to-face storytelling, away from screens, focused on a shared moment, can inspire and bring people together. I am so proud to build this business and share my infectious enthusiasm for Paris with anyone interested in listening. On my tours, I tell the stories behind three groups of people: the Royals, the Revolutionaries and of course, the Rebels.
