Overview of your Paris tour:

Why not plunge yourself in the flow of art history, from the Greeks to the avant-garde of the 20th century in a single day? As your private art historian, I will provide you with the unrepeatable opportunity to stroll in these two museums, by discovering works unknown by many and reading behind the signs of time and the artists' brush strokes. We will explore a former royal palace and an ancient train station, run into the "must-see" artworks, and "meet" the artists who have contributed to writing the history of art. From the Venus of Milo to the Gioconda, passing through the Nike of Samothrace at the Louvre, we will continue by discovering the main 19th and 20th centuries art movements at the Musée d'Orsay. We will revive artists' secrets and scandals, and the true history hiding behind the paintings that made art history. . . We'll stroll inside these spaces, their sculpture naves, elevated walkways until discovering the masterpieces they contain.
