HOW IT ALL BEGAN!
FRENCH PIONEERS of cinema

Some opinions on this walk
Yesterday evening, I really enjoyed the Lumière walk led by Juliette, a dynamic and innovative speaker with tablet and mini speaker. The Lumière brothers were born in Besançon where I live. Thank you.

Bravo to Juliette for her light walk that we did on Sunday March 3 with our friends from Bordeaux. Original walk that allowed us to discover the history of cinema. Juliette knew how to captivate us during these 2 hours of journey. To renew without moderation!

It is simply magic!
The Lumière route for lovers, with a fascinating guide, and under a warm sun in a beautiful district of Paris, what more could you ask for! Thank you to Juliette whose explanations, answers, little anecdotes make us discover the history of cinema with surprise and fun. The mention of the filming locations, the references to some cult and / or recent films is a very appreciable plus, it plunges us into the world of filming ... Really fascinating, I recommend to any couple, group of friends or fellow film buffs to take a cine ride, I myself am considering doing a second one!

I'm not a movie buff and yet I loved this ride. Juliette is passionate about cinema and Paris, so she captivates. She takes us to very pretty places, explains (or rather tells us about) Paris through the cinema. Everything is well prepared, documented, she had to do a lot of research. She knows a lot about cinema, but also about Paris. Well done.

I had the chance to take the Lumière course on the beginnings of cinema by the Lumières brothers in 1895 and I really enjoyed myself. The information provided by our superb guide and his iPad to complete them was perfect. I learned a lot about the history of cinema. I would wait for sunny days to do the other courses. Do not hesitate to ask her and offer this beautiful gift to your friends and relatives. WELL DONE

The Lumière course in the company of Juliette is a delight. She knows her subject perfectly and shares it with a lot of enthusiasm and passion. We have forgotten the threatening sky!
Juliette made us experience great moments of cinematographic history, punctuated by images, anecdotes and made us discover traces of this past all along the route. Very enriching and interactive. We can't wait to discover the other courses. Thank you very much, Juliette.
