My name is Vincent an official tour guide/lecturer in Paris and France. I am a licensed tour guide in France and I have been working since 1989. It was the year when Paris celebrated the centenary of the Eiffel Tower as well as the bicentennial of the French Revolution. My knowledge in art history and History grew over the years and I like to share it with visitors. Most of my work experience has been in conducting small groups and private tours because I like interaction to be able to adapt to desires and expectations. I am flexible with families. I can guide in different means: driving, biking and walking. These can give you the possibility to discover Paris and its culture with a wide range of aspects such as food, architecture and also to tour the different museums inside such as the Louvre, Orsay, Orangerie and the palace of Versailles. Departing from Paris I can show you the diversity of the countryside with the impressionist touch of Giverny, the château of Fontainebleau, the cathedral of Chartres or the Landing Beaches of Normandy as well as the battlefields of the First World War in Champagne and Picardie and more. . . So do not hesitate to contact me. Guide conferencier and licensed driver

Overview of your Paris tour

This tour enables the visitor to find out more about the artistic revolution that took place in the 19th century, though, precisely the most significative interpret; Claude Monet and his keen glance of nature that took him to build the gardens right beside his house. Gardens that he used later on as a working tool to analyze and comprehend the image, color, and forms. Triggering a new trend called impressionism. The same day we will explore another period through the castle of Versailles. The artistic comparison with Giverny gives the visitor the understanding of such a revolution. I will be glad to take you to guide you through it. My service covers the visits inside the palace, house, and gardens.

We could not have asked for a better guide than Vincent. He was friendly & accommodating and his knowledge of both Monet & Versailles was astounding. We were picked up at our hotel at the right time and his vehicle was immaculate. Vincent will definitely be our choice for a guide should we visit Paris again.

Vincent's knowledge of art and history is incredible. We learned and enjoyed an amazing amount of information at Monet's house and Versailles; he kept us moving but was very sensitive and helpful whenever we needed to make stops, took us to a great place for lunch. I highly recommend him as a guide.

Our goal was to see as much as possible while learning something as well. He far surpassed our expectations. He is extremely knowledgeable and gives enough information to make it interesting, yet doesn't overwhelm you with too much. He is passionate about his city and what he does. He was great about showing us points of interest off the beaten path. He was also masterful at maneuvering through traffic at the busiest time of day. He was personable and fun to be with. Highly recommend him.

We had a delightful day with Vincent. It felt like we toured Giverny and Versailles with a friend. We appreciated Vincent's knowledge and kindness.

Vincent is a professional. He knows the history, background and details of the places he shows his guests. He was very helpful when my parents needed to see the attraction at a slower pace. He knows all the back roads and the places to have lunch that have a local flavor. Excellent English. Arrived on time. Entire group was comfortable. Would book with him again.
