Pierre RIVOALLAN

Director
Holder of a Master’s degree in North American History and the History of Religions from the Sorbonne, Pierre Rivoallan was a political advisor to several Members of the French Parliament before becoming the General Manager of an important social tourism company.

Après des études en management et animation touristique, Kevin a intégré l’Ecole Supérieure du Tourisme et de l'Hôtellerie de l'Université d'Angers où il a acquis son diplôme de Guide Interprète national. Sa formation l’a amené à faire découvrir notre patrimoine aussi bien dans les châteaux de la Loire que sur les côtes bretonne et normande avant de revenir à Paris, sa terre de naissance. Attaché à faire découvrir notre capitale sous un angle inédit, Kevin conserve une prédilection pour l’histoire, notamment le Paris médiéval. Il prendra également plaisir à vous faire apprécier le patrimoine artistique parisien comme la peinture impressionniste ou l’Opéra Garnier.

Sabrina was trained as an English-Spanish National Guide at the School of Higher Studies in Hotel and Tourism of the University of Angers. She is also a graduate in Applied Foreign Languages from the same University. Her predilection for grand sites charged with history has already given her the opportunity to discover Carcassonne as well as the Mont St Michel without counting the maze of f ecret basements under Paris. But she excels above a ll in a region that is most dear to her – the castles of the Loire valley – as well as the Renaissance period.

Italian and English State Certified Tour Guide obtained from the University of Rennes, Cécile learned to look at Paris through the prism of the many Italian influences that have marked both the arts and architecture since the Renaissance. In general, the promotion of cultural heritage is her driving force, which led to a Master of Tourism obtained from the Sorbonne. Thus, she is equally at home in the Mont St Michel Abbey or at the Notre- Dame Cathedral in Paris.
