Hello everyone, I am Caroline and I am a French tour guide from Paris! I have a passion for history and the city of Paris, that is why I decided to be a tour guide in 2010 after having my license. What are my other passions? I love good food (of course I am French!), fashion and traveling all around the world to discover other cultures! If you want to discover museums, monuments and quarters of Paris, follow me! I will be very happy to share my knowledge with you and I will give you explanations about French culture and history. Before being a tour guide, I worked in a school, so I am used to working with children and I adapt my speech to them. See you soon in Paris! - master of history 2004 - licence of tour guide 2010 I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Paris tour

The Musée d'Orsay was originally a train station built for the World Fair of Paris in 1900. But after the second World war, the train station was too small and the building was finally changed into a museum in 1986! Inside you will find artworks from 1848 to 1914: paintings, drawings, sculptures or furniture. The most famous paintings are the impressionists but to understand why they are so famous, it is important to know what was the academic art in France during the XIXth century and why the impressionist rejected it. The reserve collections are huge, that is why the museum change the artworks every Mondays when the museum is closed. I will show you a large view of the museum and if you want to stay after my tour, there are some cafeterias or restaurants to have a break.

I just had a very enjoyable tour of St. Germain with Caroline, who met me at my hotel. We walked through old historic streets, visited nice sweet boutiques w/tasting, a wonderful Provence olive oil/ vinegar tasting, the market w/ cheese tasting, historic spots and the oldest church in Paris, St. Germain-des-Pres. Caroline is very knowledgeable about the French /Paris history and the sweet shops and made me feel immediately at home. I have now a good feel for the area and would like to explore more myself

Caroline is an amazing guide. She managed to show us the most important items of the museum, within 2 hours in a way that even the kids understood most of it! Highly recomended.

We had the pleasure of using Caroline's services for a total of three days. She is very friendly, courteous and helpful. She created an itinerary tailored to our needs, She knows all the right places to visit to make your time in Paris more efficient and knows how to navigate the museums to hit all the highlights. She has excellent knowledge of the art collections, history behind the works and the relations to each other. She provided great advice on how to spend our free time.
