Bonjour! My name is Julien. I'm a Parisian (or maybe I should say a suburban Parisian but don't tell anyone please. . . ) and I love my city. I love how cosmopolitan is Paris and I love its architecture and its museums. To learn about Paris is an endless book. Maybe because there was something about Arts running into my veins already when I was born as (several generations of Architects in my family), I became very interested in Arts from a young age. I could spend hours trying to copy the Mona Lisa. . . Then another passion emerged: learning about other cultures and languages after my first exchange with a Spaniard when I was a teenager. This was the first time I understood how big was the world and how different could be the cultures. This enhanced my interest in learning languages and took me abroad for studies and work experiences in UK, Spain, Mexico. After teaching Spanish for eight years I thought that being a guide would be the most pleasant way to share my two passions, languages and arts with people. And now you can find me at the Louvre, on City Island, Marais or other places, unveiling the stories and secrets of the paintings at the Louvre and monuments of Paris and tasting a piece of cheese or a macaron! So join me on one of my tours and feel free to ask for a customized tour if you have a special interest. I really like to create new tours and tailor tours to people's interests. I'm looking forward to meeting you soon in Paris A bientôt!

Overview of your Paris tour

I've been to many museums and I've loved all of them but I have a special connection to the Louvre. I feel like this is my second house. After so many visits, I still wonder what makes me go to the Louvre even on holidays. Is that because this is the 1st museum I visited when I was a kid even before the glass pyramid existed? Or is it because I still feel so small when I look at how vast it is? Is that because its architecture summarizes 800 years of French history or is it because its collection encapsulates thousands of years of World history from the Egyptian and Assyrians to Napoleon? It's probably a mix of all these reasons but also because I think that whoever you are, wherever you come from, there's always something you can relate to at the Louvre. That's this special connection I feel that I'd like to share with you. Note that the system has changed and the guide needs to get the tickets for the tour in order to skip the line.

Your Paris tour itinerary

This is a perfect tour for a first visit to the Louvre. Depending on what time we start we might go and see the Mona Lisa first if it's an early start (9/9:30am). Otherwise I like to show the medieval part of the Louvre and show the transition from a fort to a Renaissance and Baroque Palace. Works of art included: Venus of Milo, Winged Victory, Coronation of Napoleon, Mona Lisa, Wedding feast of Cana, the Slaves by Michelangelo. This is a suggested itinerary, let me know what you would like to see and do and I will customize the tour accordingly. Note that some works of art might not be on display because of restoration or because some rooms are being refurbished.
