Discovering the 11th arrondissement
Découvrez l'histoire du 11e arrondissement de l'Ancien Régime à nos jours à travers ses multiples voies, cours, passages insolites et le plus souvent méconnus du grand public, dont regorge l'Est parisien ! Autrefois, ces cours bruissaient d'une activité débordante, dans les différents métiers d'art de l'ébénisterie, du textile et autres secteurs, jusqu'à la désindustrialisation progressive de Paris intra-muros, à partir des années 1960. Ayant fait l'objet parfois d'une habile réhabilitation, elles abritent désormais professions libérales, ateliers d'artistes et indépendants : Rue des immeubles industriels, Cour de l'Industrie, Cité de l'Ameublement... Au travers cet itinéraire de 2 heures, dans une ambiance décontractée (faite d'anecdotes et d'échanges), cette visite vous fait découvrir et partager l'histoire économique hors-norme du 11e, si riche et encore si vivace...

Express life coaching while walking in Paris
Got something going on right now? Do you like walking around Paris? Walking helps clear your head and clear your mind. So how about a walk in the company of a professional coach? How about an express coaching session while walking the streets of Paris to combine business with pleasure? Have you ever been coached? Essentially, coaching is listening and questioning. No advice, no ready-made solutions. As for express coaching, it is focused on a specific objective or on a defined problem. Punctual, informal and engaging, it does not replace so-called normal coaching, but it can help you open up new perspectives. The goal of this experience is 1) to show you around my lovely Paris neighborhood on foot, and 2) to accompany you by listening to you and asking you questions in complete confidentiality. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) said "Walking has something about it which animates and enlivens my ideas. I can hardly think while I am still; my body must be in motion to move my mind." If you prefer another time for the experience, feel free to inquire.
