点评:My wife and I just returned to the US from a vacation in Europe, including five days in Paris. We asked Gil to take us on an exploration of Paris on two tours. The first was from the Jewish history perspective, which understandably focused on WWII and the Holocaust. Gil provided the Parisian social and political context leading up to this challenging period, including the migration of Jews to Paris and their inclusion in local culture, which enabled us to have a deeper understanding of what transpired. The second tour was on the French Revolution, which included many stops at fabulous bakeries! On both tours, Gil took us meandering down streets and corridors we would never have seen. He is very engaging, and he has an amazing ability to distill history and key events into a relatable understanding of life in Paris (whether for the Jews (the first tour) or the working class (the second tour)) and these important transitions in Parisian society. Also, I am a craft coffee snob, and Gil had a terrific command of the location of many of the best coffee shops along our tours! I highly recommend you hire Gil for your Paris tours!!
翻译:我和妻子刚从欧洲度假回来美国,期间在巴黎待了五天。我们请吉尔带我们进行了两次巴黎之旅。第一次是从犹太人历史的角度出发,自然而然地聚焦于二战和大屠杀。吉尔介绍了这段充满挑战的时期之前巴黎的社会和政治背景,包括犹太人迁入巴黎以及他们融入当地文化的过程,这让我们对当时发生的事情有了更深入的了解。第二次是法国大革命之旅,期间我们参观了许多很棒的面包店!在这两次旅程中,吉尔都带我们漫步在那些我们从未见过的街道和走廊。他非常有魅力,并且能够将历史和关键事件提炼成对巴黎生活(无论是犹太人(第一次旅程)还是工人阶级(第二次旅程))以及巴黎社会这些重要转变的贴切理解。另外,我是一位精酿咖啡爱好者,而吉尔对我们旅程中许多最好的咖啡馆的位置了如指掌!我强烈建议您聘请吉尔 (Gil) 为您的巴黎之旅服务!!
