I am a passionate art historian who lives in one of the most beautiful cities in the world and is just waiting to show it to you! I studied Restoration and Art History and specialized in museum education with a focus on accessibility of cultural heritage. I love spending my free time among museums, galleries, exhibitions of all kinds, and going in search of small museums unknown to most people, collecting strange and out of the ordinary objects. I am a huge fan of drawing, illustration and nature travel. Thanks to my studies and the work as a guide that I have been doing for several years, I have had the opportunity to travel and live in wonderful cities and to expand my knowledge, and Paris, the city I have chosen, manages to embody with its lights, its museums, its castles, its squares, its parks and the many incredible monuments that distinguish it the ideal place where I can share my passion and my knowledge with all those who have the curiosity and desire to discover it. Working as a guide is a job that needs to be done with sensitivity and care, with professionalism but also with lightness, with a desire to get involved and to make new human connections, and it represents for me a natural extension of my personality; I believe it is the job that most defines me in absolute terms. Getting up in the morning with the idea of having to lead a tour at the Orsay is a dream, every single time. I think it's clear that I'm a bit of a museum geek but I'm also a tireless walker and I love the parks and narrow streets of Paris, so my tours are both walking tours and guided tours of major museums. Paris is a city that encompasses a varied and diverse world and my tours adapt to its many faces, we can go to discover the regal and monumental Paris, or the intellectual and university Paris, or even the Paris off the beaten path, we can visit the collections of the major museums but also the smaller ones and the villages outside the city. I conduct all my tours with passion, attention to detail, a desire to convey the beauty and richness of this amazing place, and in the spirit of an eternal traveler, constantly discovering this incredible city.
