A little bit about me …

I was born and grew up in Hong Kong and have called France home for more than 35 years. I am a French government-certified Guide-conférencier and have been sharing my love of Paris and France with visitors for more than 10 year.

I love introducing visitors not only to the great sights, but also to the history, art, food and everyday life that make France so special.

Come and discover France with me!

What Visitors Say

I feel fortunate to have met so many wonderful visitors and shared special moments exploring Paris and France. Here are a few words from some of them.

Celia was an excellent guide. She made navigating the Louvre very easy and ensured we saw key pieces. Celia is knowledgeable and we all learned something, including my teens. in addition, she was funny and you can tell she is passionate not only about the Lourve, but Paris and its history. Highly recommend!

We spent 1.5 incredible days with Celia and her driver William exploring Paris, and it was truly one of the best guided experiences we’ve ever had. She led us through Montmartre, Sacré-Cœur, Notre Dame, and the Louvre—where she arranged skip-the-line access—and even took us to the perfect hidden spot for a family photo with the Eiffel Tower in the background. As we drove between sites, Celia shared fascinating historical context and stories that made Paris come alive for both the adults and kids. And talk about going above and beyond, she helped purchase tickets to a river boat cruise of the Seine River and William dropped them at our hotel so we had them as soon as we arrived in Paris!

We have been to Pais many times without a guide. We hired Celia o take us to Versailles and a second tour to show us Parts of Paris we have not seen and wanted to experience Paris through the eyes of a Parisian. Celia delivered both in spades. Celia is easy to get along with, very friendly and extremely well informed. At the end of both tours we came to the conclusion that we really just learnt about Paris today. A thought;ly good time was had by us all. Highly recommend Celia as a guide.
