Hi, I am Patricia, Born in Paris, and definitely in love with my town, I am an official Licensed guide registered with the Paris Tourist Office and National Tourist Federation since 2004. I love my profession, feeling happy to share my passion and knowledge with my guests. Initially, graduated from the High School of Interpreters and Translators in Rome, I worked for over 20 years as a translator in a French state company. , fluent in english, italian and spanish. A further degree in Art and History obtained in 2004 allowed me to start a new professional life, working as a licensed guide and found my own tours and event company. Through the streets or monuments of Paris, I enjoy reviving with my guests great historical figures and secret places, as well as touring through all Paris main museums, such as the Louvre, Orsay the Orangerie, or Versailles, but also those less known, skipping the lines, which I expect you to enjoy as I do! I can customize half days or full days Tours with private car with driver, or just walking tours, to discover the highlights, among which my favourites are Versailles, Malmaison, Giverny, Fontainebleau or Vaux le Vicomte, not forgetting the Normandy beaches and Loire Valley Castles. Of course, upon your request, I can tailor my tours to include various extra activities, such as : - A lunch in a typical Parisian "brasserie" -a wine or cheese tasting session in a restaurant, or a funny relaxing shopping walk through the pedestrian streets of Les Halles, or St Germain des Près, or Le Marais. . . . Just rely on me, you will be safe and feel happy ! Either this is your first time in Paris or you wish to deepen your knowledge of the French culture I will take care of every moment of your trip to really match with your wishes and sharing with you my passion.

The tour in the museum can be followed by a walk in the Tuileries Gardens, to enjoy a special view over Paris enlightened by the admirable fountains and 17th century marble statues .
Excellent tour. Unfortunately the Louvre was suddenly closed for the day but Patricia was able to adjust her day take us to the Musee Orday and take us through a wonderful tour of the great artists of the 19th and early twentieth century. Patricia was extremely knowledgeable and turned what could have been a disaster into a marvellous experience for us. We have no reservations to recommend her with the full marks.
Enjoyed the tour. Less art history or painters history. Would prefer more info on why each art piece was considered a master worthy to be there. Was it just because it provided history or, brush work, shading, colors etc etc. Very busy,place, not friendly!!!
Patricia was filled with knowledge and interesting facts. We skipped the line which gave us more time in the Louvre. We had a wonderful time together. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Punctual knowledgeable easy going Highly recommend
That is was our second tour with Patricia and again - she made our (short) visit to the Louvre most informative and memorable. We were able to see and learn about some of the most important works, with lots of historical and artistic insights for each piece. She was also great at putting each piece and each period into its proper context, so we came away with both detailed information, and a sense for "the big picture". A++
Incredible knowledge. There wasn't anything that Patricia couldn't help us with. She went beyond the extra mile. My daughter and I had a memorable holiday because of Patricia. Thank you
