Hello dear Traveller, my name is Aline, born and raised in Provence (south of France). Living now at the border between Burgundy and Ile de France, I'm available to help you discover Paris as well as other places like Fontainebleau, Provins, Vaux le Vicomte, Barbizon the painter's village, etc. . . What I love about Paris ? It's a city where you can travel throughout the Time, from the Middle Age to the XXIst century all in one day. As a Licensed Tour Guide, let me guide you through time and space, providing you with keys of knowledge to appreciate places within the city or the countryside and works of Art within the numerous Parisian museum. Before being a guide, I was scriptwriter for documentary. I'm particularly interested by intangible heritage like arts and crafts. I directed few shorts films about craftsmen "savoir-faire". I attended open classes at Ecole du Louvre and the National Institute of Art History to learn more about the treasures Paris is full of, and I obtained the License for Tour Guide (French Ministry of Culture) at the CNAM (National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts). I studied Art History at La Sorbonne and Chinese Langage and civilisation at INALCO. During a seven years stay in Beijing and Hongkong, I learned Chinese Arts history and symbolism. If you are interested by Chinese Arts, I will be delighted to present you the collection of Guimet Museum and Cernuschi Museum. My tours are families friendly, so don't hesitate to book them if you are travelling with your children or grand children. My "péché mignon" is French gastronomy. . . So I'm also culinary certified Tourist Guide. So let's discover all the treasures of Paris and the Ile de France together !! Licensed Tour Guide (CNAM) Master of scriptwriting (Conservatoire Européen d'Ecriture Audiovisuelle) Master of Chinese Langage and Civilisation (National Institute of Oriental Langages and Civilizations) Art History (Sorbonne) Art and civilisation History (Ecole du Louvre) Listener I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.
