Castle of Versailles: A Jewel of Art and Architecture Half Day Tour

I wish to welcome you in Paris and start our visits in the City of Lights as soon as possible! My name is Christian. After getting a double law degree in Italy and Austria and a second education as a journalist, I have been living in Paris for the last 25 years. My job as a permanent correspondent for the Austrian Press Agency (APA) and my lessons of journalism and law at HEIP and INSEEC gave me a special insight in the history and culture of France and its capital. I followed social and politic events, met personally all French Presidents from Jacques Chirac to Francois Hollande, witnessed the openings of the greatest art exhibitions in Paris (from Monet in Grand Palais to Leonardo da Vinci in the Louvre) and described in my articles the development of French society over two decades. 2012 I came back to the passion of my youth: history and art. I started guiding for local companies, got a new education for obtaining a national guiding license (Guide Conferencier) and finally - with the help of my wife who is architect - developed my own tours. Paris is one of the cities with the richest history in Europe and in the World. What I try to do, is a compromise between the time at our disposal, the huge amount of information and the wish of entertainment my guests obviously have. That is why I surround my tours with mystery and suspense, while my wife has elaborated the best and shortest way to reach the biggest amount of attractions possible, in museums and historical sites, but also in the city. I love it to get my guest banned in the charm of Paris, sharing with them my passion for art, history and beauty, but also for the lifestyle in Paris, the best places where they can eat and drink or simply relax. I can adapt to all your wishes, customize the visits, adapt to your pace, and provide many hints for your staying in Paris after our tour or visit. My experiences are adapted to families, kids and teenagers are welcome as well as older people or guests with reduced mobility. I can adapt my roadmap, the means of transportation and the content of what we see and what we do. Just tell me your wishes, I make it happen. - I have a national guiding license that allows me to guide my guests in all museums, palaces, castles and other monuments or historical sites in France (license n° CG19-93-019-B0B) . - Press card n° 080740, Ordine Nazionale dei Giornalisti - Master degree in Law I don't drive and guide at the same time, but I can provide a professional driver with high-end vans or sedans if you wish so.
