Meet Sandra Laville,
founder of Époque Travel
Sandra Laville is a professional guide and art historian specialising in European history and art. She founded Époque Travel out of a passion for sharing art, history and the incredible places they're attached to with travelers in the world at large. Originally from Canada, where she got an undergraduate degree in French and Spanish Language & Civilisation, she relocated to Europe afterwards and has been living here ever since. Sandra has a Master's degree in Art History from the prestigious Université La Sorbonne in Paris, where she did her thesis on Italian Renaissance Painting. She also has a Master's degree in Education and more than 25 years of experience as a guide and educator at museums and historical monuments in Paris, Rome, Florence and Madrid, collaborating with the industry's top agents and tour operators including Context Travel, CiaoBambino!, Presto Tours, Walks of Italy and Trufflepig.
" I've lived in Italy, France, and Spain for over 25 years and have been passionate about travel for as long as I can remember. It began with my first trip overseas at age 16 : a summer stay with a family in Paris and a whole week visiting the châteaux in the Loire Valley. It was a dream come true and the start of a whole new life full of travel, art and history. I am truly grateful for having experienced so many life-changing moments while living and traveling in incredible places across the globe. What I love about giving tours and curating travel experiences is sharing the inspiration with my clients and helping them create unforgettable memories of their own."
