The Louvre Museum and its masterpieces
The Louvre is the most visited museum in the world, and it is so big that you could spend 8 months inside to discover the masterpieces that made it so famous: artworks that attest the greatness of many civilizations (like the Egyptian, the Greek and Roman ones) and the importance of European medieval and Renaissance art.
Giotto, Botticelli, Raffaello, Michelangelo, Leonardo and, of course, Ingres, Géricault, Delacroix, David, amongst others from all over Europe. The best way to explore the huge castle that hosted kings, queens, artists and officials since the Middle Ages, in two hours and an half/three hours (better than 8 months anyway) is to be guided.
I’ll lead you inside this beautiful place, showing to you how the taste of people changed, how kings and kingdoms’ relationships influenced the creation of one of the most beautiful collections in the world.
Remember that tickets are not included, buy water before starting and bring your camera, your curiosity and your best smile. If you want a tour in Italian or in French just contact me to have your tour in the language you prefer (https://abnb.me/WSqbN67UTZ)

Rise of Napoleon Paris Historic Walk
“My life… What a novel!”. Napoleon reflected as he was writing his memoirs. After the 10 years of the chaotic French Revolution, France was in ashes: decimated by the reign of terror, torn by a civil war, wars with Europe, financial bankruptcy and political instability. Could the Nation survive?
Why did Winston Churchill referred to him as Napoleon the Great? Travel back in time and understand how the man became a general at age 24, how he rose to power and why he crowned himself Emperor at Notre-Dame!
See where Napoleon got the lucky break of his military career; where he married Josephine, the love of his life; where they had dinner; and some of the institutions he created to modernize France. You will get a glimpse of his vision as a Head of State and the imprint he left on Paris’ architecture.
I look forward to help you (re)discover one of the most fascinating figure in history!
DETAILS: Adapted to all ages. Approx. 2hrs & 3,5Km/2Mi. Walk runs rain or shine.
MY OTHER WALKS & ONLINE EXPERIENCES: La Fayette & Fathers of the American Revolution ; Kings & Queens ; French Revolution ; Art Nouveau Architecture ; and WWII Occupation & Liberation of Paris!
Secret Cellar Cheese & Wine Tasting
At a charming cheese boutique in the Marais neighborhood, we'll dive straight into the vast and exciting world that is French cheese: the history, production process, science, regional specialties, and cultural significance. After exploring the cheeses in store, we'll descend to the 17th century cellar for the cheese-and-wine tasting, and even step into the cheese-aging chamber (please note that the cellar is not active during the months of July and August). While we can't guarantee that we'll try all 500+ varieties of French cheeses that are known to exist, you will taste a wide and representative selection! We'll also pair the cheeses with delightful organic or low intervention wines that will have your taste buds singing.
Other things to note
Our tasting room is located in a below-ground cellar, accessed via a steep staircase. Hence, this experience may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility.

Day trip to charming Champagne
Visiting Champagne is the perfect day-trip from Paris and we aim to make it as easy and enjoyable as possible.
Veronica will meet guests at the East train station in Paris (Gare de l’Est) either at 9h15 or 10am, depending on the train schedule that day. We will ride the one hour train together and then dive into the charm of the region's most interesting village, 'Epernay', the former home to Dom Pérignon. We will stroll through the village's farmers' market and pass by the famous sites before heading to the Moet & Chandon or Mercier house for a one-hour tasting (not mandatory and not included in the tour price). Before/after the tasting the group will enjoy a picturesque picnic together overlooking the valley and vineyards before heading back to Paris.
The tour serves to provide an overview of the history of Champagne and the region, show guests some areas they would not find on their own and of course enjoy the local specialty! Guests are welcome to stay longer in Epernay or take the train to Reims if they prefer to explore the region further on their own.

We will meet 25 min before the train departs in order to buy train tickets, get coffees and find comfortable seats on the train. The train will be at your expense and we will be in touch before the tour to help buy train tickets and answer any questions you may have about the tour.
WWTwo Paris Walk with a historian
Paris in the Second World war : the dark side of its most famous monuments.
Discover life under Nazi occupation, the fate(s) of the city's Jewish community and the story of the liberation of Paris, a city divided between the resistance and the collaborationists, on the brink of a civil war. From the poorest areas of the city to the wealthiest and from the hidden to the most famous monuments, you will discover both sides of a city at war.
Our "stroll" will last about 3 hours, with a short metro ride half way-through. The aim of my walk is to make you discover specific areas of Paris in the light of aspects of our city's rich history that are rarely touched upon by guidebooks, with in-depth information (history buffs welcome) but in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. A conversation, rather than a lecture!
