Discovery Walk & mini-photoshoot
The Discover Walk & Mini-photoshoot EXPERIENCE is an original and personal way to discover Chamonix. My "off-the beaten track" experience is designed to give you an exclusive peek of how people live in the mountains. We visit the nooks and crannies of downtown Chamonix as well as hidden neighborhoods in the surrounding area. The Mont Blanc range provides the scenic backdrop. This EXPERIENCE will allow you to grasp Chamonix's history in an easy-going fashion, without being too academic. In 2024, my discovery walk will be a ONE TO ONE experience. Book as a SOLO traveler but you can also as a couple - or with friends - on a private formula. Consider it a private outing, tailor-made for your intérêts where you can choose from a variety of themes or itineraries. Let me know if you want to book for more than 3 people, so that I can adapt the platform for your reservation. All my walks INCLUDE a mini-photoshoot that I'll do of YOU with YOUR own smart-phone. It's a chance to "get in the picture" and share. The style of my photography is definitely traditional. Yet I'll try to adapt my style to yours if you desire. The pace of the walk is easy-going. If you already know downtown Chamonix, then it’s time to discover the authentic hamlets of the valley for a different perspective. A behind-the-scene discovery experience.

Mont Blanc Nature Walk & mini-photoshoot
This is a time of RENAISSANCE. A time to regenerate using VORTEX energy of the Mont Blanc. At this moment, we yearn for a sense of renewal and stimulation and a need to define new resolutions to better our life and health. Let's start here on this unique AWARENESS walk which takes us into one of Chamonix's most protected natural landscapes ; a place far from the noise of the valley, bathed in light where rare plants and wildlife have found refuge. A place where you feel as if you can touch Mont Blanc. It is in this stress-free environnement, face to face with the Mont Blanc glaciers, that we can experience the inner calm to surpass our COVID stress. You may feel empowered by this force or incredibly relaxed. How you experience this immersion in nature is entirely subjective. It's a chance to reconnect with your senses while the majestic Mont Blanc range provides the backdrop. We'll walk amongst traditional 18th century alpine chalets where people continue to maintain a pastoral life-style. My stories about Chamonix's history, mountain climbers, crystal hunters, glaciers, wild goats - and wolves - will help paint the picture of this unique valley. During this RENAISSANCE walk, I offer a MINI-PHOTOSHOOT where I will photograph or film you in the scenery with your own smartphone so that you will be able to share this experience with friends and loved ones.
