Hello everyone, I am Caroline and I am a French tour guide from Paris! I have a passion for history and the city of Paris, that is why I decided to be a tour guide in 2010 after having my license. What are my other passions? I love good food (of course I am French!), fashion and traveling all around the world to discover other cultures! If you want to discover museums, monuments and quarters of Paris, follow me! I will be very happy to share my knowledge with you and I will give you explanations about French culture and history. Before being a tour guide, I worked in a school, so I am used to working with children and I adapt my speech to them. See you soon in Paris! - master of history 2004 - licence of tour guide 2010 I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Your Paris tour itinerary
We will begin the tour in the crypt and I will speak about the life of Saint-Denis who was a martyr during the 3rd century. I will show you the different steps of contruction of the basilica from the 5th century to the 13th century. I will explain you what was the gothic architecture and we will see the tombs of the different kings of France from the medieval ages to the tombs of the Renaissance. During the french revolution, the corpses of the kings were exhumated from their coffin in 1793. They are now in the ossuary in the crypt. I will finish with the tombs of the king Louis XVI and his wife Marie-Antoinette who were guillotined in 1793. In front of the heart of their son Louis XVII , I will explain you the "enigma of the child of the temple".
