French military history with Anatole, wow! - My 18 year old son and I just took this tour with Anatole. He was so knowledgeable, funny, and helpful. We learned so much more than we could have doing this tour alone. He explained everything in detail and we left feeling as though we had a much greater understanding of all French military things and so much more. Thank you Anatole for a wonderful experience we will never forget. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in this type of French history!

Fascinating (and family friendly) tour of Less Invalides - Florent was an amazing tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the museum. He was very engaging with our 8 year old son and had great stories to tell. HIGHLY recommend this tour.

A Museum Experience You Cannot Get On Hour Own - The only way to do the museum is with Anatole! His ability to weave the story of France between eras gave us a completely new perspective on the country’s military history. His knowledge of history is only matched by his passion for the subjects he speaks of. Most importantly - he was incredibly gracious to a few very late Americans (meaning us)! If you are planning to go to Les Invalides you would be remiss not to go with Anatole

Fantastic with Tween WW Tour - We took the World Wars tour with Florent today. He was a magnificent guide for my 12 year old’s fascination with WWII. He was incredibly knowledgeable on the topic which was a big deal as my son has much knowledge on the topic. He also guided us to other areas of the museum for our tour. Well worth the cost for a private tour which we don’t often splurge for.

Great overview of the world wars - Our tour guide was Mathieu and he was excellent! This tour was a very helpful overview of a huge chunk of France (and world) history. We learned a lot of things that were also relevant to other parts of our trip. Mathieu really helped us narrow down what was cool to look at and did a great job explaining exhibits.
