Hello!
I am Arnaud Caron.
I became a guide in 1993.
While studying Tourism in Montpellier, I had the chance to get a job as a guide at the abbey of Moissac. Not very far from Toulouse.
You know ? It is an exceptional place.
A cloister that I enjoyed showing off. Seventy-six sculpted capitals. All different. And a gigantic cedar of Lebanon in the garden.
Simply superb.
My attraction to Romanesque art comes from there.
It's been a while. I stopped counting the years.

BECOME A GUIDE AT 14
Like many guides, I would tell you that my job as a guide is a vocation.
As far as I'm concerned, the virus caught me at 14, when I took my first guided tour.
It was in Berlin, with my parents, a few weeks after the Fall of the Wall.
We were lucky enough to come across a fascinating guide. I could see myself trying to do the same thing as her.
My favorite subjects naturally became English, Spanish, history, geography. Everything that still attracts me today.
As soon as I entered high school, I therefore had a serious idea of the job I wanted to do.
the revelation
Then in BTS in Montpellier, it was the revelation : the history of art, thanks to this dear Mr Cazottes.
A teacher such as one meets few in his studies.
One of those who make you love the subject he teaches. Finally my goal of becoming a guide was taking shape.
I am not an artist. Besides, I don't know how to draw or sculpt. But my joy of explaining art was born around this time. Thanks to this teacher.
It was also during this period that I developed a passion for Languedoc heritage and Roussillon.
Narbonne, Pézenas, Arles, Saint-Guilhem le Désert, Montpellier among others ... And further, Lyon, and even Alsace!
These were my first experiences as a guide, in front of my fellow students.
I was in my element. Like a fish in water.
the Graal
All I had to do was get a professional guide card to make it my job.
The professional card is a bit like the Holy Grail for a guide.
This is what allows him to exercise this wonderful profession.
After two years of studying Art History in Toulouse, I first became a national guide-interpreter.
This allowed me to work throughout France for a tour operator who needed a real guide for his cultural trips. Provence, the castles of the Loire, Brittany, Alsace ...
Then, after a few years, to stay longer in Languedoc, I became a guide-lecturer.
In 2001, I created my company. To work with more freedom and develop projects that were close to my heart.
I then guided large groups, on foot or by coach. City tours, day trips in the region.
I still exercise alone today.
My signature ? Simplicity. No big talk.
top gear
In 2008, I added a string to my bow by buying a minibus: I became a driver-guide.
I started to travel the region up and down and across the region with small groups of 1 to 7 people of all nationalities.
It is much more intimate than a coach of course. We create a real relationship. A real exchange takes place with the visitors I welcome in Languedoc.
This is what i love.
Introducing our beautiful region to new people from different backgrounds.
