Paris

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.

We absolutely loved Bea. Can we give her 10 stars? Her tour of Versailles for our two children age 7 and 9 was personal and engaging- the children learned so much and so did the adults! Her knowledge is so deep- there was no question she couldn’t answer, no subject or detail she didn’t know about. She was thoughtful and entertaining. The children adored her. Having her with us made our day!
