Description

La Défense has always been my home turf. I grew up there, I lived there, and day after day I’ve watched its transformations, its bold architectural designs, its monumental works, and its secrets… Today, I’m making it my platform for sharing this story!

I offer 2-hour guided tours in French to help you discover this unique neighborhood:
- its key milestones, from the birth of the business district to its major urban transformations;
- its iconic landmarks, from the Grande Arche to its iconic towers;
- its lesser-known spots, hidden passageways, overlooked works of art, and unusual viewpoints;
- its local anecdotes—the ones you won’t find in guidebooks but that locals share with one another...

My approach blends history, architecture, urban planning, public art, and everyday life, with a perspective rooted in firsthand experience. I help people discover La Défense as a vibrant, surprising, sometimes bewildering, but always fascinating neighborhood!

For companies, school groups, or curious visitors, I offer an authentic immersion, fueled by my intimate knowledge of the area and the joy of sharing its many facets :)
