Camil, guide à Nantes

The guide

Welcome, I'm Camil

I arrived in Nantes in 2020 and never left. Not entirely by chance: this city literally captivated me, with its dense history, surprising architecture and an energy you won't find anywhere else.

Since then, I've explored its streets from every angle, dug into its archives, discovered its hidden corners and gathered countless anecdotes. That's the passion I wanted to share by creating à pas d'éléphant.

My goal: to let you experience Nantes as if a friend who really knows the city were showing it to you. We walk, we stop, we chat, we laugh — and we leave with stories worth telling.
