Bonjour! I am an Italian art historian Parisian at heart and a licensed tour guide in France. I fell in love with Paris a long time ago, when I visited this incredible city for the first time. When I moved here I decided to learn everything about its history, culture, art but also legends, traditions, food, lifestyle, boutiques. . . I read all the books I could; I visited every single museum, art collection, monument and historical place I could, including the closed ones (good guides always have great connection); I walked along (almost) every street, garden, square and I consumed some many shoes you cannot even image. I ended up being a French licensed tour guide, a professional personal shopper in Paris and I am still learning! I make new discoveries every day and I love sharing my knowledge with travelers who are curious to learn something more than what you can read in tourists' books. In my tour, I love making the past lives again, following unusual paths even in the most touristic areas and letting you experience the authentic Paris, feeling like local. I like the idea of a sustainable tourism, even in a city like Paris. If you like walking around, let's take it slow and enjoy the city and its secrets addresses. . . Sun or rain it will be spectacular! I am smiling and flexible: if you are looking for a truly taylormade Parisian tour in a very friendly atmosphere feel free to contact me and I will organise it for you: from walking tours in the city to high-end shopping experiences, from Skip-the-line Museums visits to thematic itineraries to enjoy Parisian cultural or gastronomic heritage. . . all my tours are studied to be fun, informative and safe (including headsets that I personally and carefully sanitize after every single use). I have a strong historical and artistic background (graduated with honours in History of Art in Venice, Italy) and I've been working in tourism for more than 9 years. I have 3 different tour guide licenses, including the official French Tour Guide License (Carte Professionelle de Guide Conferencier n. 1475034P) so I can guide you in all French museums and monuments, providing a Skip-the-line service for almost all of them. I am not a driver but I can arrange for you private transfers with fully licensed and professionally insured drivers in Paris and outside the city (day excursions to Versailles, Loire Castles, Chartres. . . ). I've been working with schools for years (and I have 2 children) so I know what you are looking for if you are travelling with kids. - MA degree in Art History - Graduated with honours in Conservation of Cultural Heritage and Art History (Ca' Foscari University, Venice, Italy) - specialized in XVI century art - Former art history teacher - Carte Professionelle de Guide-Conferencier (number: n. 1475034P) - Member of FNGIC (Federation Nationale Des Guides Interpretes et Conferencier) - Member of Paris Historique, a national association dedicated to the protection and enhancement of Parisian cultural heritage - Viking Local Guide Certificate of Excellence (Oct. 2016) I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car or minivan and driver

Having two young kids I know that visiting big museums with them may be a challenging experience. Let me help you to make the most of your visit and enjoy the Louvre with all your family! We will admire all the most famous masterpieces, including the Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, Mona Lisa, Napoleon's Coronations and many others in a fun, interactive way. You will learn everything about the evolution of western European art, from ancient Greece to XIX century France while your kids will enjoy a little Louvre bingo and few quiz designed to keep their attention alive. Wandering around the museum you will also have the chance to learn the history of the building and its art collection. Are you ready to start the tour?
- Meeting outside the Museum (on request I can pick you up at your hotel) - medieval Louvre - Greek antiquities department (Venus de Milo, Winged Victory of Samothrace and others) - Apollo gallery (French crown jewels) - Italian Paintings department (Mona Lisa and many others ) - French paintings department (Napoleon's coronation, the Raft of the Medusa, Liberty leading the People ) Please note that the itinerary may change due to the exceptional closure of the Louvre's rooms included in the tour. Usually the departments included in the tour are always open but if you are looking for a personalized itinerary, including other areas of the museum (Dutch and Flemish artists, Egyptian collection. . . ) please do not hesitate to contact me! The tour is designed for kids from 5 YO to about 10. If your children are younger or you are traveling with teenagers please let me know so I can personalized the tour for them too!
