On Saturdays and Sundays, some of my guided tours run as a free walking tour: you book your spot for free, enjoy the tour, and at the end you give what you want, based on how you felt and your budget.

A free walking tour with a guide who lives in Nantes
I arrived in Nantes in 2020 and never left. I have walked its streets, dug through its archives and collected its stories. My aim: to show you Nantes the way a friend who truly knows their city would. We walk, we stop, we chat, we laugh, and you leave with stories you will want to tell.
