A French-speaking guide since 2004, I have travelled to almost every corner of my country. This has allowed me to acquire a wealth of experience, which I provide to tourists when building itineraries that best meet their expectations. I am passionate about history, economics and nature. This love of nature leads me to the mountains for horse riding and hiking. The Silk Road offers not only historic cities but also breathtaking wild landscapes. It's time to explore them.
