My chers amis, Bonjour and welcome to Paris! Paris is a fabulous city justly described as an international capital of fashion, gastronomy, romance, art and so on. My personal love story with Paris started when I first visited France being a law student from Saint Petersburg taking part in « Chantiers bénévoles », a volunteer project consisting in a restoration of a medieval castle in the South of France. I found almost immediately that French history, heritage and people are so interesting, that I should move here forever. So, I came to France, studied history and art and obtained a diploma which enabled me to receive my official tour guide license (« carte de guide-conférencier ») in 2013. Since that, I really appreciate being a professional guide. From my childhood, I love to spend time in museums with their particulate atmosphere and charm. I love as well to share my passion for art and make the wonders of French History come alive in front of your eyes, as I take you on tour. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Paris tour
The Versailles Palace is the creation of Louis the XIV, known as well as the Sun King, Louis The Great and ByGodGiven. There are a lot of king's portraits on display in the palace, so you will be able to judge on your own was he a handsome man, but according to the memoirists like Duke of Saint Simon no woman at the royal court could resist his courtship. He lived an incredibly long life for his time, his reign lasted 72 years. He managed to be married twice, conceived many children, not only with his first wife, who was his cousin, but also with his many mistresses; their love stories were marvelously described in Duma's novels. Immerse yourself in a world of absolute monarchy and unimaginable wealth and power. Let's walk through the pages of French history together with me, your Local Guide. I would share my true infatuation and love for this place with you. I am so sure that you will not remain indifferent to what you will hear and see.

During the tour we are going to visit the main palace, including Royal Chapel, King's and Queen's State Apartments, the Hall of Mirrors and King' s Bed Chamber. (1, 5 hours). Afterwards we would walk through a part of immense Royal Garden which is considered to be the world's biggest open air sculpture museum, home to about 200 pieces depicting gods, goddesses and heroes of Greco-Roman mythology.

In total, the visit lasts 4 hours, including the time of travel to Versailles and back to Paris.
