This Museum was so much...
This Museum was so much better than the Louvre, our guide gave us a history of art during this period, getting the kids to guess the art styles and learn about the artists.

Dominique was very...
Dominique was very knowledgeable. We were a family of four including our 13-year-old son and 10 year-old daughter, and she did a great job of touching on the things they learned the day before at the Louvre and then expanding on them. When my husband remarked that he’d love to see Gauguin, she immediately pivoted to include that exhibit thereby modifying the rest of the tour. We all walked away having learned new things about the Museum itself, the Impressionist style, and many works of art.

Excellent Family Tour
Agathe was a super guide for our family. She was not only very knowledgeable, but she also had a fun and energetic personality. She focused a lot of her attention on our 10 yr old, but explained everything in a way that was interesting for the adults as well. I highly recommend Agathe.
