After practicing law for more then 10 years I decided to change my life and I followed a degree in my real passion : the Art history. Having passed through a big challenge - state exams - I became a professional licensed tour guide. I am passionate about the art history, particularly the decorative art, art of a table and history of french gastronomy. I am working in the most famous sights in Paris and its area: museums, palaces, antic markets etc. I am always searching for interesting facts about the places I work in and mastermiding new tours. In case you do not see in the list of my tours something you would like to do in Paris just let me know and I will customize any tour according to your needs. My work is not only about telling stories and showing people what they see in museums, but it is also about sharing our impressions and experience. Every day I meet people from all over the world and discover something new. Being a mother of 2 little kids I know how it is to travel with children. So if you come to Paris with kids I will adapt our visit in order to make it entertaining for the whole family. What I like the most being a guide is that within just one day I can visit many places and travel through many centuries. I can compare it to traveling on a time machine. If one day it is invented I would like to work as a guide there :) My pleasure is to engage people to a fascinating journey through time, events and beautiful sights that France can propose to its guests. . . . I am a certified guide with a licence which allows me to work in all french museums. I also have a master degree in law from a french University of Cergy-Pontoise with a specialisation in commersial and taxation law. I have not finished master degree in art history (master 1 Art historian faculty University Paris X Nanterre) . I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Hunt treasures at Parisian flea market
Overview of your Paris tour
"Fleas" included" - this is what rag-and-bone merchants in XIX th century used to say there proposing old clothes to visitors. Nowdays at the "Puces" you can find everything - from knights' armor to the paintings from famous artists and designers' furniture. It is not only touristic sight, a lot of Parisians and even celebtities come here for a stroll. The area of 7 hectars unites 15 markets. Each of them has its charm, attractions and specialties. One will please you with beatiful ancient french furniture, another one - with vintage jewellery and fashion, a third one - with exquisite porcelaine and rare silverwhere. We will travel through centuries and epoques. I will tell you about european styles (baroque, rococo, empire), techniques and french traditional know - hows. I will introduce you to some legendary sellers and tell you legends of the "Puces". I will also bring you to some parts of the market hidden from the rest of visitors, where we might find some very rare and exclusive objects.

Yuliya was a great tour guide. knowledgeable, friendly, considerate. Recommend her highly!
Vanessa S.United States
We had such a lovely tour with Yuliya. She was extremely knowledgeable about the market overall and silver and tableware in particular. She brought us to a number of tableware shops and helped us negotiate (my French is not good enough to negotiate) but did not pressure us to buy anything. She knew about about the design world and is very well suited to leading this tour. I can’t wait to come back and go to the market with her again!
Brandon J.United States
Yuliya provided a small group of visitors with a delightful tour of the large Paris flea market, Les Puces de Saint-Ouen. I would not be possible to capture all of what the market has to offer without a knowledgeable guide and Yuliya was the perfect guide. She provided an overview of the enormous market and then focused on points of interest to us. She knew many of the best vendors and pointed out some fascinating information. She is a delightful person and highly recommend her.
Stephanie D.United States
Yuliya was fantastic. She helped us find the very specific things we were looking for, assisted us with negotiations, and even ran to get some food when one of us had a blood sugar problem. It was a rainy day and we started very late, so many shops were closed as she had advised they would be, unfortunately our schedule did not permit earlier. Her English was great, she is easy to understand, and knowledgeable.
Chester Z.United States
Wonderful tour! Very knowledgeable guide and a genuinely nice person. My wife and her cousin picked up a some treasures to remember our trip to Paris. Yuliya helped us see it all like a local! Highly recommended.
