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

Less crowded, impressive collection, a good option versus Versailles. The tour starts at your hotel at 8:15 AM, where we will start driving to Fontainebleau, around 50 km away from Paris. The highlight here is the stunning Gallery of Francis I. Visit to the palace would start around 9:30 AM ending around noon. From Fontainebleau, we can head to Barbizon to show you this village with a high artistic value (pre-impressionist painter). Once the tour concludes, we'll head back to Paris and arrived at the hotel at around 2 to 3 PM.

Vincent was very nice and knowledgeable. He made the architecture and history of Fountainebleau, as well as the history of France, many French royal families and Napoleonic times come alive. The palace and gardens were beautiful. Although smaller than Versailles, it was still very large and we were able to see much more of the interior and of the furnishings at Fountainebleau.

Vincent was such a great guide for us. The history and beauty of Fontainebleau Palace is breathtaking. It is huge and he got us through it and the gardens so we saw all the important parts and heard the history. Glad we found Vincent for a private experience and drive from Paris to Fontainebleau.

Great tour with substitute guide, Honore, to both Fontainebleau and Barbizon! He was timely, very personable and extremely knowledgeable of both towns and all to see. We got a great history review of France and more on the drive out of Paris.

We spent a wonderful day with Vincent at Fontainebleau and Barbizan. Vincent was funny, engaging and knowledgeable. I would strongly recommend this tour.

I highly recommend Vincent for a tour which is very personal, enjoyable, and engaging. He will show you both the major sites one would expect to see, and the hidden gems that few would even know exist. Moreover, Vincent's mind is an encyclopedia of historical and cultural facts, which he can communicate in a way that is captivating, funny, and interesting. After spending a day with Vincent, we knew we had met a friend we would not forget for the rest of our lives!
