My name is Emilie, I'm a professional tourist guide passionate about Paris and Versailles. I'm very fond of art, architecture, urbanism and fun facts !!! During my free time I love cooking and gardening. I have a true passion for cats too! I was born in Paris but I grew up in Marseille in the South of France where I studied art history. Then I moved to London to study photography and I went back to Paris and to work for the Agence France Presse. After that I became a tourist guide because I felt the need to share my passion for Paris that has never ending history. The visits I love the most would be the Louvre, Versailles and Orsay: -At the Louvre I would help you look at little details that seem unimportant but of course, they are! Talking about the context and all the aspects influencing the personal life of a painter for exemple during the creation process. -And what I like to talk about in Versailles is the everyday life of Marie-Antoinette, the food, the hygiene, and the whims but truly she had no options but to follow the etiquette as you maybe already know! But that's ok if you don't and by the way there are no silly questions, they very often help to go further in the understanding. Also how Louis XIV managed to make France the most important country in the 17th century developing the French "savoir faire" as well as bringing France to war for 50 years. -Orsay it's how those artists who by breaking the establishment completely modernized art but took many years to be admired by the French themself.

While you are in Paris you must absolutely visit Orsay museum that own the biggest collection of impressionist paintings in the world! Because yes Orsay it's the museum where you will understand best the birth of a movement that will change art forever and getting into modern art. You will also fall in love with Orsay with the building itself. Housed in an old railway station built for the 1900 world fair the museum was then created in the 80's few years after the demolition of the building was planed. And did you knew that you can also see art nouveau fournitures there? From different countries in Europe. It's one of the richest movement in design, where every object had to be handmade. Also you will be charmed by the little Rodin collection too.
-we will meet near the elephant statue in front of Orsay museum -then enter the museum -on the ground flour I will talk a about the different movements that initiated the creation of Impressionism -then I will explain to you how the transformation of Paris, and the construction of the Opera, transformed the Parisian society -and going up to the ground floor to floor at the impressionists artists : Monet, Renoir and Degas -at the end we will see the post impressionists artists : Seura, Van Gogh and Gauguin
