Bonjour, and welcome to France! My name is Olesya, and I am a professional, licensed guide. I first came to Paris twenty years ago to study at Sorbonne University, and from there, I gave a piece of my heart to this magical city. My love for Paris is ever-growing, and I would be more than happy to share it with you! After graduating from Sorbonne University, where I studied English philology and literature, I worked as a professional translator for numerous Parisian and international translation agencies. Striving to be more in touch with other people and deepen my knowledge in history of art, I pursued my studies at the National Guides' School in Paris and the Ecole du Louvre to become a professional guide. Now, fully licensed, I am delighted to introduce you to the magic of Paris and its rich, fascinating history and outstanding architecture. Paris is truly where history is so alive that you can literally touch it. With me as your guide, you will discover Paris and gain a bucket-load of knowledge. But don't worry! There are no classes, homework, or tons of research to do here. Simply allow me to lead you through the streets of Paris - in a relaxing, easygoing, and enjoyable way! The great part is that anyone can benefit from my tours, and they are 100% family-friendly. All tours can also be tailored according to your needs and desires. What's more is that being a fully licensed guide gives me a little (huge!) advantage to skip all the crowds and queues in most of the museums and monuments! My biggest enjoyment on tours is to "crack the codes" of museum masterpieces. I connect with people individually, giving them the keys to better appreciate artworks and monuments, translating them into a language you can understand. I love seeing faces brighten with new knowledge! I mostly enjoy surprising people - and I like to be surprised myself. Paris is the perfect location for this! Are you ready to journey on your thrilling French adventure? - French Government License that enables me to guide you through all museums and monuments with priority access - no queuing here! - Degree in History of Art obtained at the School of the Louvre (École du Louvre) - Master's degree in French and English linguistics, philology, and literature.

Overview of your Paris tour

First, you will discover the Louvre not only as a world-class museum but also as a place where kings and queens once lived and shaped French history. You will gain a richer understanding of masterpieces like the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory, and many others, along with a clearer vision of major art-history ideas. Then, after walking through the beautiful gardens of Palais Royal, we will enjoy lunch at a lovely Parisian café tucked inside one of the Covered Passages. Further on, we will explore how Montmartre — once a simple rural village — became a vibrant center of avant-garde creation, filled with bohemian energy and legendary cabarets. You will discover fascinating stories about Picasso, Renoir, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, and many more artists who transformed this hill into a cradle of modern art. In the end, you will look out over the city from the top of the hill, where the magnificent Basilica of the Sacred Heart rises, A day to remember!
