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.

The Palace of Versailles was built for the king Louis XIV and is known around the world for its opulence and inspired many places and you'll be stoned by its size. During my visit I will explain to you why this palace was built and all the strategy behind it and help you to decipher the details in the painted selling. You will understand why Marie-Antoinette was so hated in France during her time and what happened to her kids. All of the visit will be spiced stories and gossip of course! Don't hesitate to contact me if you want me to customize the visit. The tour can be adapted to your group size, up to 10. The tickets aren’t included, the minimum is 3 adults tickets even for 1, or 2 visitors. I must create a booking for you on the official website of Versailles for you so that you can pay directly with your card and avoid extra booking fees.
