I'm a 36 Parisian girl born and raised in a village nearby Versailles.
I used to create and sell "love locks" on the famous lover's bridge "Pont des Arts" with my darling, Sed (we've been a faithful couple for 14 years).
This job revealed me a keen interest in working with foreign visitors.
When the government replaced the bridge's fences by windows I started to search for another job. I've been lucky enough to find a company's ad searching for a guide specialized in Catacombs. This is how I discovered this job.
Being impassioned by catacombs and underground heritage for 9 years, I am currently employed by several companies to lead guided tours of the Catacombs Museum. I also do day-tours of the Normandy D-Day beaches, the town of Chartres and its cathedral, walking tours of the cemetery of Père-Lachaise, themed-tours about the historical crimes and legends of Paris...
This is the dream job to me: I love meeting people from all around the world to share my passion with them.
I also love history, music, gigs, exhibitions, pubs, urban exploration...
Highlights

Description
How did the bodies of more than six million people end up crammed into an underground maze of tunnels? You'll find out on this stunning tour of the Catacombs.
Follow your guide into the bowels of the French capital, through a network of galleries, 60 feet below ground.
Hear about the history of the 180 miles of quarries situated under the streets of Paris - and how this area became the resting place for so many of the Paris' citizens.
Your guide will tell you fascinating, entertaining and emotional stories about the things that happened in the darkness of this giant labyrinth.
You will have the chance to access a deeper level restricted to regular visitors where you can admire splendid sculptures made in 1777 by a quarryman called Decure and experience the silence of this unique site... Well, is it really silent?
Due to the huge popularity of this tourist site, the usual wait time to enter the museum is around 2 hours (some have even waited 7 hours!) but this is a 'skip the line' tour which means you will be able to walk straight in with your guide.
Your group will welcome a maximum of 6 participants to allow you to fully enjoy this unique experience as the site is narrow.
To request a different start time please include a request in the message field when making your booking.
