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.

Overview of your Paris tour

One of the most beautiful castle in France and a real trasure of Parigian region. 17th century masterpiece built by the arcitecte of Versailles - Louis le Vau. Vaux le Vicomte witnessed major historical events. One of them was a magnifisent party organised by the owner - minister Fouquet - for the king Louis XIV. We will visit the private rooms of Nicolas Fouquet, parade apartments including king's bedchamber. Rooms are decorated with rare and priceless objects of art - 17th furniture, tapisteries, vases and painings from famous french artists. Before going to the garden we will pass by the basement kitchens. As an option we can also visit the dome to enjoy fabulous view over the garden! We will finish our tour walking through the french formal garden wher. Vaux le Vicomte is a private museum. It is not as crouded as Versailles palace. Also there is no line for the secutity control and no pickpokets. Closer to Christmas the castle turns into a fairytale - christmas-trees everywhere and rooms filed with light
