- Beate | about the guide
The prestigious Orsay museum is not to be missed while in Paris. It is renowned for its large collection of Art Nouveau, Impressionist and post-Impressionist works featuring great painters like Monet, Renoir, Degas, van Gogh, Gauguin and Cézanne. On this interactive tour designed for families with children aged 6 to 12, you will enjoy a fun and captivating scavenger game through the different galleries of the museum. Make sure you take a close look at the famous paintings - such as Monet’s Poppies or Renoir’s Dance au the Moulin de la Galette, Degas’ ballerinas- as you will need to use all your observation skills to answer the big quiz at the end of the tour. As you explore the major impressionist works and artists, your professional guide will tell you about this group of talented men and women who develop a new (and controversial at the time!) style of painting changing the art world forever. No doubt the whole family will remember the experience!

German native and Parisian by adoption, I have been enjoying the « City of light » with its endless cultural discoveries since the age of 18. After an initial Master’s degree in History from the Sorbonne, I completed a 5 year Master’s program in Art History at the Ecole du Louvre, a school within the famous museum, and have enjoyed working as a state licensed guide ever since. Leading family tours is definitely my preferred activity. I love the way kids look at art with fresh eyes. As a mother of three I came to understand how important it is to ensure that children have a fun and interactive museum experience. As a guide and art historian an equally essential part of my work is to provide the keys to « read » works of art and make the necessary connections between art and history, the past and the present. It’s important that children learn to observe, to think and to draw conclusions. My tours are designed to match these aims.
