Who is behind "Guided By Melissa"?
Born in Paris, adopted as a Savoyard, and now a Ligérienne.
I live in the magnificent city of Angers (Pays de la Loire), surrounded by a thousand and one châteaux (a figure of speech, but... quite literally true!).

I obtained my professional qualification as a guide-conférencière from the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers in Paris in 2014.
I am a dynamic guide, always delighted to meet new people from all over the world, as guiding is also a moment of sharing experiences.
My passions? History (especially fashion and costume history), art, and music.

I would be delighted to guide you through the Val de Loire sites to discover their treasures. My personal favorites? The Château d'Angers and its sublime Apocalypse Tapestry, the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, and the Château de Chenonceau.
You will also sometimes find me back in Paris, primarily guiding at the Opéra Garnier or Notre-Dame de Paris. However, I know the city like the back of my hand, so do not hesitate if you have other desires.
