I became a volunteer guide when I retired
because I didn't want to let my neurons get rusty.
I was hoping to find an activity that would have allowed me
to continue to stay active, to meet people
and to practice foreign languages, German and English.
One day, by chance, I met Marie-Roland,
whom I didn't know because we lived in the same neighborhood.
And she actually offered me to become a guide.
She showed me the museum, explained what it was about,
what the museum was about, what its objective was,
what its interest was.
And that's how I became a volunteer guide.
The Baggage Museum is unique.
It's a collection of objects that are, for some,
particularly exclusive,
such as the Sorkhomen Doyle office suitcase,
some toilet accessories that are from all over the world.
So what I like as a volunteer
are the hotels.
They are never the same people.
They are never the same groups.
And you have to adapt to the group.
In general, it's always in the right mood.
It's always with a certain decontraction.
It's a museum where you can also find decontracted ways
to spend a good time.
I've been doing this for three years,
and it's been three years since I've met a group
that's like the same thing.
It's an atypical collection that makes life
a little different from a normal heritage.
Here, it's really an original and special heritage.
And I think the interest is really this idea
of collecting travel.
How we shape the movement of man
depending on a destination
or depending on a desire for travel.
We really have a wealth of atypical and original exposures.
Here, we really go down the beaten path.
We give ourselves freedom by saying,
well, we're going to tackle the tourist trip.
We're going to tackle the trip,
the trip on the other side of the street with handbags,
Have you seen something in the museum
that you had never seen before?
Yes, definitely.
You know, you have a wardrobe at home,
but here you have people with travelling wardrobes.
These big trunks were more or less travelling wardrobes,
which I had never seen before.
