Perfect tour! Amazing guide, Aurelia! - Aurelia was the perfect guide! We’ve been to the D’Orsay before and loved it, but we’re craving more instruction on what to look at. This tour was exactly what we needed - we learned so much about the artists and the history of the building, plus Aurelia was just a delight!

Violette makes Art come to life! - Violette makes art come to life!
Our guide Violette was wonderful. It made me sad when we had to leave . Now I need to tour the rest of the museum without her. The history, stories, connections between painters was so mesmerizing. She explained everything with enthusiasm and pride that it makes me think that I chose the wrong career. Art History with Violette at Museum D’Orsay is not to be missed.
