Meet Erica

Born and raised in Grosse Pointe, Michigan (a suburb of Detroit), I did what every good Detroiter does and went to work in the auto industry. After several years traveling around the globe for one of the “Big Three” I fell in love with a French executive and moved to Paris with him in 2007
I got married, learned French, had twin boys (surprise!!), got French nationality and basked in the opportunity to eat, drink, shop and learn about what makes France and the French so deliciously appealing to the world.
I loved taking friends and family around Paris and playing the tour guide so much that I decided to do this for a living. I attended the University of Paris Nanterre and obtained a professional degree and became a Nationally-licensed Guide Conférencière in France (licensed tour guide).
