About me:

Welcome, I'm Camil.

I arrived in Nantes in 2020 and never left. It wasn't really by chance: this city literally captivated me, with its rich history, its surprising architecture, and this energy that you can't find anywhere else.

Since then, I've roamed its streets in every direction, searched its archives, discovered its hidden corners, and collected anecdotes. It is this passion that I wanted to share by creating à pas d'éléphant.

My goal: to let you experience Nantes as if a friend who really knows their city were showing it to you. We walk, we stop, we talk, we laugh — and we leave with stories we want to tell.
