This tour is the key to understand the rich artistic explosion the 1800s in painting and in sculpture. You are going to cross chronologically the different styles to follow the evolution and understand why the impresionnists painters could not be taken seriously by their peers at the very beginning. I will give you enough background of sociology and history to understand this evolution and make the pieces come to life under your eyes. Academic art, realism, impresionnism, fauvism, pointillism will all make sense at the end.
Eugenie’s stories behind the art made history come alive.
Eugenie was a great guide in the Orsay Museum! We saw many of the great Impressionist artists, including Manet, Degas, Renoir, and Monet. It was wonderful having the stories behind the art and the artists themselves be explained by someone from France.
If 10 stars were possible, Eugenie would have rated them. She is a perfect combination of Interpersonal, professional, knowledgeable and anectdotal skills. She is simply one of the BEST guides we have EVER HAD. We have been hiring private guides for MANY years. Eugenie is simply THE BEST!
Really helpful tour since one cannot do the Louvre and d’Orsay in one day.
Enjoyed the tour and she gave us great context and understanding of the art and the artists. My 18 year old daughter loves art history and was able to see some of the pieces she studied in her AP art history classes. She was a little slow to respond in communication during the booking process, but luckily she was still available when we followed back up with her, and she created a tour that met our specific interests and timeframe. She has a deep knowledge of art history and made it easy to understand even for me who does not have any art history background. We recommend this tour.
This was our second tour with Eugénie, and she was just as great as we remembered. She didn’t just explain the paintings and sculptures—she shared the stories behind the artists, which made everything more interesting. She even kept our two grandsons engaged, which isn’t always easy! She made the whole experience really enjoyable for all of us.
