Bonjour! I am an Italian art historian Parisian at heart and a licensed tour guide in France. I fell in love with Paris a long time ago, when I visited this incredible city for the first time. When I moved here I decided to learn everything about its history, culture, art but also legends, traditions, food, lifestyle, boutiques. . . I read all the books I could; I visited every single museum, art collection, monument and historical place I could, including the closed ones (good guides always have great connection); I walked along (almost) every street, garden, square and I consumed some many shoes you cannot even image. I ended up being a French licensed tour guide, a professional personal shopper in Paris and I am still learning! I make new discoveries every day and I love sharing my knowledge with travelers who are curious to learn something more than what you can read in tourists' books. In my tour, I love making the past lives again, following unusual paths even in the most touristic areas and letting you experience the authentic Paris, feeling like local. I like the idea of a sustainable tourism, even in a city like Paris. If you like walking around, let's take it slow and enjoy the city and its secrets addresses. . . Sun or rain it will be spectacular! I am smiling and flexible: if you are looking for a truly taylormade Parisian tour in a very friendly atmosphere feel free to contact me and I will organise it for you: from walking tours in the city to high-end shopping experiences, from Skip-the-line Museums visits to thematic itineraries to enjoy Parisian cultural or gastronomic heritage. . . all my tours are studied to be fun, informative and safe (including headsets that I personally and carefully sanitize after every single use). I have a strong historical and artistic background (graduated with honours in History of Art in Venice, Italy) and I've been working in tourism for more than 9 years. I have 3 different tour guide licenses, including the official French Tour Guide License (Carte Professionelle de Guide Conferencier n. 1475034P) so I can guide you in all French museums and monuments, providing a Skip-the-line service for almost all of them. I am not a driver but I can arrange for you private transfers with fully licensed and professionally insured drivers in Paris and outside the city (day excursions to Versailles, Loire Castles, Chartres. . . ). I've been working with schools for years (and I have 2 children) so I know what you are looking for if you are travelling with kids. - MA degree in Art History - Graduated with honours in Conservation of Cultural Heritage and Art History (Ca' Foscari University, Venice, Italy) - specialized in XVI century art - Former art history teacher - Carte Professionelle de Guide-Conferencier (number: n. 1475034P) - Member of FNGIC (Federation Nationale Des Guides Interpretes et Conferencier) - Member of Paris Historique, a national association dedicated to the protection and enhancement of Parisian cultural heritage - Viking Local Guide Certificate of Excellence (Oct. 2016) I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car or minivan and driver

We can plan a longer tour to visit Notre Dame area or the Latin district or I can arrange a food&wine tasting or a nice lunch in a traditional bistrot.
