Patricia has a wealth knowledge about the evolution of art during the 19th-20th centuries and she brought the period and the artists of live for us during our 2-hour tour of the D'Orsay. Our visit was organized chronologically, so we were able to understand the influences on each of the artists from the pre-Impressionist period to its apogee. Her enthusiasm for the museum is contagious and we highly recommend booking with her.

Besides highlighting and describing the significance of the most important works, she gave real context to the connections between the artists, and between the different artistic and historical periods.
