If you were a season? “Fall, for its incredible color variations”
If you were a word? “Spontaneity”
And if you were a Breton animal? “The Great Gravelot (discreet, rare but effective!)”

I am in charge of creating, setting up and conducting guided tours on the territory of the Tourist Office Pink Granite Coast. I also make the “watch” on everything that attaches to my profession of Guide Conférencier: the specificities, the novelties, the experiments and the specialized books concerning my sector.

and do not fail to create relationship with my colleagues of other regions.

I also became a member of the Federation of Guides Conférenciers of Brittany in January 2022. This year, 4 of my colleagues came to follow me on guided tours for my greatest pleasure!

Cultivating the essential

What does the phrase “Cultivate the essential” inspire in you?

“In the context of my profession, I find that this phrase takes on its full meaning and I aspire to “cultivate the essential”which for me is to exchange, transmit my passion and my knowledge with the public. They need to rediscover this human link and return to the basics: communication, exchange, sharing.”

The Trégor is a very beautiful region with an interesting variety of landscapes and especially with a very singular cultural heritage!
