Discover Paris with a guide who combines deep cultural knowledge, strong organization, and the ability to adapt every visit to your interests. More than 1400 tours on ToursByLocals & more than 500 reviews almost all of them 5 stars. I have been working as a professional guide since 2012 and I truly enjoy sharing Paris through clear, structured and engaging explanations. I have a very synthetic mindset and know how to highlight what really matters, making complex topics easy to understand and memorable. I am highly organized, especially when it comes to timing and logistics. My tours are designed to run smoothly and efficiently, allowing guests to make the most of their time. I am also a skilled and confident driver, used to navigating Paris efficiently and driving on day trips far away in the french countryside. Rather than focusing on a single specialty, I offer a broad and solid cultural knowledge — a “Swiss army knife” approach — which allows me to adapt quickly to a wide variety of interests and expectations : French history & Revolution, monarchy, gardens, architecture, religion, gastronomy, wine, urban development, real estate, monuments, museums and small talk too … I am particularly passionate about painting and sculpture, and I enjoy revealing the context, symbolism and hidden meanings behind artworks and doing so helping visitors better understand the masterpieces. I adapt easily to each guest’s pace, curiosity and level of knowledge. Whether you are looking for a structured historical overview, an interactive discussion, or a flexible and personalized itinerary, I adjust my guiding style accordingly. I genuinely enjoy communicating my knowledge and making cultural content accessible, clear and engaging. If you are looking for a reliable, well-organized and adaptable guide who can cover a wide range of topics while offering clear explanations and smooth logistics, I will be happy to design a tour tailored to your wishes. Contact me with your interests and I will design your perfect Paris itinerary !

Overview of your Paris tour

This private tour to Giverny offers a rich and well-structured visit of Monet’s house and gardens while providing clear artistic and historical perspective. As we explore the house, the flower garden and the water garden, I explain how Monet lived and worked, how the gardens were conceived, and how they directly influenced his painting. Rather than isolated anecdotes, the visit connects daily life, artistic process and major works into a clear narrative. The tour helps you understand why Giverny was not simply a place of residence, but a true artistic laboratory where nature, observation and repetition shaped modern painting. Clear explanations and well-chosen anecdotes give context to what you see and help you remember it. Giverny is not just a garden, it is a working tool. Traveling comfortably by private air-conditioned vehicle allows for smooth logistics and optimal use of time. Contact me to adapt the pace and focus of the visit to your interests.

We really enjoyed our trip to Auvers-sur-Oise and Giverny with Romain. His knowledge and perspective provided several learning opportunities throughout the day, which were much appreciated. It was a magical day following Van Gogh’s final footsteps, including standing in the room in which he passed, along with touring the gardens and house where Monet spent a significant portion of his life. This combination is highly recommended for art history lovers.

Romain was engaging and knowledgeable about our trip. He was on time and dependable. We asked to be dropped off at a different location in Paris and he readily agreed and even provided a recommendation for lunch. Enjoyable experience!

We drove through the countryside from Paris to reach Giverny. We visited Monet's Garden and home, as well as his gravesite. Romain provided information about Monet's prominence in the local community, his lifestyle and his family. He spoke about Monet's artist contemporaries and how they influenced each other. He provided information on the concept idea of impressionism." We had time to experience the grandeur of the garden while Romain talked about the landscaping and various plantings.
