Who is Jules?

Jules Guillemoto is the founder of Ecologik, an Amiens company devoted to environmental education. A naturalist guide with a master’s degree in ecology, his path combines nature activities, teaching, fieldwork and navigation. In Amiens, he now offers boat tours to discover the city from the water, with a keen eye for living things.

A guide, not just a boat

The boat lets you move gently. Jules brings the rest: the stories, the attention paid to birds, plants and façades, to the ways people use the water, and to the links between Saint-Leu, the canals and the Hortillonnages.

Ecologik: learning to look at living things

Ecologik grew from a simple idea: to pass on the wish to observe, understand and protect what surrounds us. The boat tours carry this approach on, in a format that is touristic, local and accessible.

Tours in French or English

Jules speaks French and English. English-speaking visitors can book a tour; the level of explanation can be adapted to the group.

A story already shared locally

Jules and Ecologik have already featured in local media and content about ecology, nature and Amiens. These appearances strengthen the coherence of the project: showing the area in a different way, without losing the bond with the environment.
