I am a French art historian. I was born and raised in the Latin Quarter of Paris. I studied in both New York and Paris, where I got my PhD in the History of Art in 2023 at the Sorbonne University. My Thesis examined french landscape paintings from the 17th century.

Currently, I collaborate with curators at the Louvre and frequently compose exhibition catalogues and essays. My passion for imparting knowledge to visitors from diverse backgrounds remains steadfast.

    Hugo was as impressive as our visit to the Louvre! A week after our tour, I am remembering his exceptional guidance, great stories and details about the art, and how deeply he personally cares about the Louvre. We are so happy we booked our tour with him. Here's why... -The lines were long that day (even for the skip the line/timed tickets) and he was able to navigate...

    Top quality tour, Hugo met at the entrance and negotiated the lifts and access with our wheelchair. Brilliant commentary with enough information and interesting route through the Louvre. Fully recommended

    Hugo gave us a great tour of the Louvre. He had intimate knowledge of the museum itself as well as the art. He managed to do some customization on the tour to included things my nephew was particularly interested in that might not have been on the highlights tour. Hugo was very personable and fun to spend some of our museum with.
