Let me help you make the most of your stay in Paris.  Whether you are here for a day, a week or longer, I can help you see as much of Paris as possible.

From an introductory walking tour of the contrasting historic neighborhoods to a focus tour of whatever might be of special interest to visitors, we can make it a pleasure to discover the classic and unusual views that help to make this city the most visited in the world.

DISCOVER THE LOUVRE

The Largest Museum in the World.

The grand hall at the Louvre

Under the Grande Louvre project of the 1980s and 1990s the exhibition space of this museum has doubled.  The renovations would include the controversial I.M.Pei glass pyramid entrance (now just over 30 years old, the superb glass covered courtyards displaying and the galleries of French sculpture. Now these new additions include the Islamic Art section of the museum. This is covered by a “tent of glass” designed by the Italian architects Rudy Ricciotti and Mario Bellini. There has also been a recent renovation of Mona Lisa’s room.

With me as your guide, don’t feel overwhelmed by the size of the Louvre.  Where is the entrance?  Where do you buy your tickets? I can help you find it all along with the important works in the collection.  Spend as much or as little time exploring this vast collection of art.  I will help you see all the greatest hits in this amazing museum without looking at the confusing map. Find Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Caravaggios, and the Venus de Milo with me along.

Due to the often large crowds the Museum of the Louvre now requires visitors to PRE-PURCHASE their tickets at their wedsite:

“The Louvre is a morgue; you go there to identify your friends.”

“It took me twenty years to discover painting: twenty years looking at nature, and above all, going to the Louvre.”
— Pierre-Auguste RENOIR (French Impressionist)
 
“I want to be a true classicist, to become classical again through nature, through feeling. Before my ideas were confused. Life! Life! This was the only word I could utter. I wanted to burn down the Louvre, poor cretin that I was! You have to go to the Louvre!”
— Paul CEZANNE, quoted by Joachim Gasquet

“You don’t want to pitch a tent and live inside the Louvre. You want to check it out, appreciate it, and move somewhere else.”
— John OATES (singer from Hall and Oates)
“Don’t be carried off your feet by anything because it is modern - the latest thing. Go to the Louvre often and spend a good deal of time before the Rembrandts, the Delacroixs.”
— Sherwood ANDERSON
“The Louvre! The Louvre has me in its clutches. Every time I’m there rich blessings rain down upon me.”
