As a graduate and current student in European studies, I’ll take you on a clear and engaging walk through the places where Europe actually happens — no jargon, just real stories and insights. What to expect:

A fun and dynamic walk around the European Parliament, the European Commission, and several embassies and permanent representations, to discover:
- who really decides what in Brussels,
- how the main EU bodies interact,
- and which lesser-known players shape European policies behind the scenes.

Perfect for travellers, students, or anyone curious to finally make sense of the European Union!

Un guide passionné

Paul nous a fait partager ses connaissances des institutions européennes avec passion, il a repondu à toutes nos questions, nous avons eu un véritable échange. Il a fait plusieurs synthèses intermédiaires pour bien intégrer le rôle de chaque institution. La visite était très interessante. Nous recommandons ce guide passionné.
