Amandine: Travel expert Scotland
Having spent part of my youth in Touraine, I grew up among the castles and medieval towns that nurtured my love of history and fantastic legends. As an adult, I decided to move to the UK, and more specifically to Scotland, where I've been living for the last ten years. The little winding streets, the old facades
and the mysterious atmosphere of Edinburgh are a perfect match for my passion for the Victorian era and Victorian literature. Every walk in the old town, every guided tour, every visit to the museum takes me back two centuries to a city full of secrets and exciting stories that I can't wait to share with you.
