I wish to welcome you in Paris and start our visits in the City of Lights as soon as possible! My name is Christian. After getting a double law degree in Italy and Austria and a second education as a journalist, I have been living in Paris for the last 25 years. My job as a permanent correspondent for the Austrian Press Agency (APA) and my lessons of journalism and law at HEIP and INSEEC gave me a special insight in the history and culture of France and its capital. I followed social and politic events, met personally all French Presidents from Jacques Chirac to Francois Hollande, witnessed the openings of the greatest art exhibitions in Paris (from Monet in Grand Palais to Leonardo da Vinci in the Louvre) and described in my articles the development of French society over two decades. 2012 I came back to the passion of my youth: history and art. I started guiding for local companies, got a new education for obtaining a national guiding license (Guide Conferencier) and finally - with the help of my wife who is architect - developed my own tours. Paris is one of the cities with the richest history in Europe and in the World. What I try to do, is a compromise between the time at our disposal, the huge amount of information and the wish of entertainment my guests obviously have. That is why I surround my tours with mystery and suspense, while my wife has elaborated the best and shortest way to reach the biggest amount of attractions possible, in museums and historical sites, but also in the city. I love it to get my guest banned in the charm of Paris, sharing with them my passion for art, history and beauty, but also for the lifestyle in Paris, the best places where they can eat and drink or simply relax. I can adapt to all your wishes, customize the visits, adapt to your pace, and provide many hints for your staying in Paris after our tour or visit. My experiences are adapted to families, kids and teenagers are welcome as well as older people or guests with reduced mobility. I can adapt my roadmap, the means of transportation and the content of what we see and what we do. Just tell me your wishes, I make it happen. - I have a national guiding license that allows me to guide my guests in all museums, palaces, castles and other monuments or historical sites in France (license n° CG19-93-019-B0B) . - Press card n° 080740, Ordine Nazionale dei Giornalisti - Master degree in Law I don't drive and guide at the same time, but I can provide a professional driver with high-end vans or sedans if you wish so.

The Louvre is not only the museum with the biggest art collection worldwide, for many centuries it was also the residence for nearly all French kings and emperors from Francis I. in 16th century to Napoelon III. at the end of 19th century. We will discover the history of this building as a fortification created in Middle Age, the history of the king's palace over centuries of conflicts, ambitions, revolutions and transformations, as well as the history of this museum and its art collection. With the help of my wife, who is architect, I developed the best marsh route possible to discover the greatest amount of art pieces on the shortest way. This tour will show you what you already know - Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Venus of Milo, the Winged Victory of Samothrace - and surprise you with what you never would have imagined.
Starting from the main entrance under the glass pyramid, we will see the following pieces of art and places: - Mona Lisa and the other paintings by Leonardo da Vinci - Venus of Milo - Winged Victoria of Samothrace - The 3 biggest paintings in Louvre by Veronese, David and Gericault - The medieval dungeon of the Louvre - The apartment where lived Emperor Napoleon III and his wife Eugenia - The throne and bedroom of Napoleon I - Cupid and Psyche by Canova - Freedom on the barricades by Delacroix - The parade halls of the Sun King Louis XIV - And much more. . . Feel free to contact me if you want to customize this tour.
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
The tour will be guided on food. Wheelchairs are admitted in the museum, but we have to change the marsh route in this case. For children the museum proposes strollers.
