Hello Everyone, Welcome to Paris, the city of light, love and the Louvre. My name's Jessica and I am originally from the grand old city of Liverpool in the UK. I moved to Paris around 20 years ago which I believe qualifies me as a Parisian now. I love Paris, with its history, its architecture, the way of life. Every day I discover new things about this city which make me fall in love with it all over again. It was this love for Paris and the desire to meet people from all over the world that brought me to the great profession of guiding. I started working in the tourism sector around 25 years ago. I had a wonderful opportunity to take music groups, choirs, and orchestras around Italy and France. This was an amazing experience where not only did I share my love of these countries with children and adults of all ages, but I also had the pleasure of hearing them sing or play in some of the most stunning locations in Europe: Saint Mark's Cathedral in Venice, the Basilica St Francis of Assisi and in the gardens behind Notre Dame de Paris. As the Cole Porter Song says 'I love Paris every moment', there is always something special happening: festivals, sports events, concerts, art fairs, new restaurants opening. So as well as sharing my insights about the magnificent monuments and museums, we can also discuss what's happening in Paris today. I studied to get the French National guiding license which consists of learning about French history, literature and art history, and thanks to this I can guide you in the best museums of Paris: The Louvre, Orsay, Pompidou, and in memorable monuments like Notre Dame, the Sainte Chapelle, Conciergerie and many more. I am also passionate about contemporary art, so for clients who wish to discover more about the contemporary art scene here in Paris, I can customize tours along this theme. I can't wait to meet you and share those special moments that enrich our lives when we discover new things and meet new people. - National guiding license for France - Professional training consultant diploma - Diploma to teach English to speakers of other languages I am not a driver but the public transport system in Paris is an excellent way to get around the city.

See some of the most compelling impressionist artworks & visit Montmartre the place where the artists lived, worked or drank
Overview of your Paris tour
Let us go back in time and learn about a group of artists who revolutionized the artistic world. We will start by a visit to the Orsay museum to take a look at the most significant artworks of the Impressionist movement. We can talk about how the movement was born, who were its protagonists and the relationships between them. After a visit to this magnificent museum, we will jump on a metro which will take us up to the vibrant 'village' of Montmartre where some of these artists lived, worked and drank. We will pass by some of the studios where these artworks were made, see the cabarets and cafes that the artists frequented and were often the inspiration for their work. Every time I walk through these streets they bring back memories of the first time I came here as a student and I sat on the steps of the Sacré Coeur and gazed down at Paris. Unaware that years later this city would become my home. I can't wait for you to join me on this trip back in time!
