Virtual Tours of Paris

Ideal to discover Paris and France from home

With the pandemic, and borders being closed, I now offer virtual guided tours of some monuments and museums in Paris. 

Using online resources from different museums, I will guide you inside the Orsay museum or the Opera House of Paris, without the need of travelling to Paris!

You can ask as many questions as the tour goes, and I you can even invite your friends or family to join the video conference!

Virtual tours are available from Monday to Friday, from 9am to 9pm (Paris time), so that we can find the appropriate time, wherever you are located (US, Australia...)

This is like a private tour: you can choose your time slot, personalize your tour according to the age of your kids... This is a great opportunity to discover or rediscover Paris from home! And it can be a good way to prepare for your next trip to Paris. 

Htere are all the virtual tours I can offer online: 

1. Paris overview from the Seine river: the best of Paris
2. The Eiffel Tower and Paris seen from the roofs: panoramic views from the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and other monuments
3. The Seine river and its beautiful bridges in Paris
4. Louvre museum: history of the old palace and masterpieces
5. Louvre museum: Italian and French paintings
6. Notre-Dame Cathedral: from the Middle Ages to the restoration works after the fire
7. Opera House Garnier: the beauty of an opera house from the XIXe century
8. Orsay museum: from the old train station to the impressionist masterpieces
9. Sainte-Chapelle and Conciergerie: outstanding stained glass windows and a royal palace from the Middle Ages
10. Montmartre district: a very nice neighborhood where lived some great artists
11. Basilica of Saint-Denis: a beautiful gothic Cathedral, where are buried the French kings
12. Van Gogh in Auvers-sur-Oise: discover the charming village where the painter Van Gogh spent his last months

In January, 2021, I was interviewed in a podcast with The Wandering Scholar, to talk about how I adapted my work to virtual tour guiding in the face of the pandemic.

If you want to learn more about it, and learn how it is still possible to visit Paris now, you can check the podcast here.

Awesome Virtual Tour of Versailles

Our family was looking for something enjoyable and educational during this challenging time staying at home for weeks, and Elisa's virtual tour of Versailles was perfect! My family in California, my parents in Florida, and my sister's family in the Carolinas all joined Elisa for a one hour live guided tour through Versailles Palace (using Google Arts and Culture's 3D mapping so it was like being there - but with no other people/crowds!). Elisa's commentary and insights, and her eagerness to respond to questions, made the experience interactive and engaging for our tri-generational group. And, at only 80 Euros for the hour, we received a lot of value for our money. Cannot recommend enough.

Virtual Tour of Paris from the Seine River

Elisa joined us virtually for our team holiday event and she was fantastic! She “walked” us through Paris and gave us historical but also fun tidbits about each area we saw. She was knowledgeable, entertaining and also very professional. Our team appreciated being transported to another country momentarily and forget that we’re stuck in Canada in a pandemic. 

Thank you Elisa! Your services will certainly be recommended!
