The official professional card is delivered after a challenging university curriculum.
A competent licenced guide has a good general knowledge, a deep expertise in history, art history, ethnography, economy and geography. He knows all about the area in which he works.
Flexible and capable of answering any kind of demands, a licensed guide is able to speak fluently several foreign languages and give you some good tips on your stay.
our profession is a strictly controlled one
Since the 31st of March 2012, the title « guide-conférencier » (licensed guide) replaces the former four professions that existed so far (conférencier national, guide-interprète national, guide-interprète régional, guide-conférencier des villes et pays d'art et d'histoire).
Our profession is a strictly controlled one. Only holders of the professional card delivered by les Ministères du Tourisme et de la Culture are allowed to conduct guided tours in official cultural institutions like “musées nationaux” (national museums) or “monuments historiques” (national monument).
D'une grande disponibilité, d'une bonne capacité d'adaptation aux attentes des visiteurs, il s'exprime avec aisance dans une ou plusieurs langues étrangères.
C'est un passionné qui peut aussi vous conseiller pour le montage de votre séjour.
