Tour guide in Paris Catherine C.

Welcome to Paris, I am a qualified art historian, but also a multi-award winning professional portrait painter. My work hangs in the US Embassy, Paris, the Légion of Honour Chancellery, international art galleries and private collections worldwide. I have spent my whole life practicing and studying art, from a Masters degree in art history, to the Ecole des Beaux Arts and independent art academies. During my studies I practised my craft as copy artist in the Louvre, a place I love and know by heart. Having taken a very similar path to the generations of artists before me, I feel a special connection with the art I present to my visitors. As well as private museum tours, I also work as Enrichment Speaker on Cruise Lines such as Celebrity, Princess and Cunard. Variety keeps me on my toes! Don't imagine that my very traditional painting style means I disregard modern and contemporary art! I was privileged to learn from descendants of the famous School of Paris and work in one of the last remaining artists studios from that period. I can give insights "from the horses mouth". I am accredited to guide visitors in the new Pinault Collection contemporary art centre as well as Centre Pompidou. Don't hesitate to ask for tours of museums that don't appear on my list, I will be more than happy to devise a custom tour for you.
