Originally from Saint-Malo, Aurélia is part of the legacy of the great explorers and privateers of her hometown. From an early age, she was driven by a strong curiosity for history, geography, and world cultures, which naturally led her toward the world of travel and cultural transmission.
With a background in tourism management and cultural activities, she chose to dedicate herself fully to sharing knowledge. In 2011, she obtained her National Lecturer-Interpreter Guide license, a mark of excellence and professional rigor. She first developed her expertise in Brittany and Normandy before broadening her perspective to a distinctly international dimension, shaped both by her travels and by the reference works that have accompanied her throughout her life.
Since her first collaboration with Ponant in 2023, Aurélia has regularly lectured on board, offering captivating conferences on a wide range of subjects. From the Seven Wonders of the World to the mysteries of Mediterranean shipwrecks, and the legacy of Ancient Greece, she invites her audiences on an inspiring and intellectually enriching journey.
Recognized for her eloquence and the originality of her presentations, Aurélia offers at every cultural stopover an experience that is both memorable and deeply rewarding.
