About Antoine

Antoine

I'm Antoine, and Bordeaux and Dieppe are the two towns I actually know inside out. Bordeaux gave me its wine trade, its Roman foundations under the streets, and a habit of arguing about pétanque over a drink most evenings. Dieppe gave me something quieter: a working scallop port, a clifftop castle, and a piece of 1942 history that still moves people when it's told properly.

I've spent years living in both towns, eating in the same handful of places, and paying attention to which stories actually make people stop and listen. That's what shapes every tour I give.

I keep every group small because I want it to feel like a real conversation. Ask me something I don't know, and I'll simply tell you so, honestly.

"Antoine was our tour guide for Bordeaux food tour. He was on time and sent clear friendly messages to a meeting point that was easy to find. He has a laid back demeanour and you can tell he enjoys working with the public. Our tour had multiple amazing stops, but I'd love to highlight the dessert and the duck! It was incredible. I go on a food tour on most holidays, and this was one of the best. Definitely book with Antoine as he is FABULOUS."

"Antoine is an excellent guide. Not only does he know about the best places to try Bordeaux specialties, he also knows every local he passes on the historical and beautiful streets. We tasted, and were told the history of, amazing Bordeaux wine, canelés, chocolates, pastries, and enjoyed a delicious lunch at a "well-kept secret" restaurant featuring clever fusion of French and Asian cuisine."

"My colleagues and I all come from different countries, and we were all very impressed by the food, but also absolutely delighted by the stories Antoine shared with us! He was such a storyteller and we fell in Love with Bordeaux and with Alienor and her story. 10/10 would recommend!"

"Antwan was a fantastic guide taking us through the history of Bordeaux as well as the food and wine culture. We experienced super food from a restaurant we would never have found on our own to world class chocolate and patisserie."

"Antoine was a great guide with a lot of knowledge of the city. The food was excellent and the city was beautiful. We only wish we had done this tour on our first day. Thanks Antoine for keeping us cool on a hot day!"
