My name is Emilie, I'm a professional tourist guide passionate about Paris and Versailles. I'm very fond of art, architecture, urbanism and fun facts !!! During my free time I love cooking and gardening. I have a true passion for cats too! I was born in Paris but I grew up in Marseille in the South of France where I studied art history. Then I moved to London to study photography and I went back to Paris and to work for the Agence France Presse. After that I became a tourist guide because I felt the need to share my passion for Paris that has never ending history. The visits I love the most would be the Louvre, Versailles and Orsay: -At the Louvre I would help you look at little details that seem unimportant but of course, they are! Talking about the context and all the aspects influencing the personal life of a painter for exemple during the creation process. -And what I like to talk about in Versailles is the everyday life of Marie-Antoinette, the food, the hygiene, and the whims but truly she had no options but to follow the etiquette as you maybe already know! But that's ok if you don't and by the way there are no silly questions, they very often help to go further in the understanding. Also how Louis XIV managed to make France the most important country in the 17th century developing the French "savoir faire" as well as bringing France to war for 50 years. -Orsay it's how those artists who by breaking the establishment completely modernized art but took many years to be admired by the French themself.

First we will visit the inside of the Palace using the group entrance where the wait is usually not exceeding 10mn I will tell you about the different rooms we will walk through and the different Kings and Queens that lived in the Palace The different scandals, historic and social contexts that lead to French Revolution. And then how the Palace survived that. Then we will visit the gardens walking or riding the little train We will picnic for lunch near the lake where there are restaurants Then we will enter the Little Trianon and next you will be blown away by the Queen's Hamlet an other unknown place. //////Tickets for the Palace and Estate aren't included in this visit, I must create a reservation with the Palace itself and you can pay directly with the link the Palace will send/////
