As a scholar, educator and nationally-certified tour guide, I founded Picturesque Voyages for discerning travelers seeking customized private or small group tours. In English or French, our signature tours visit exceptional gardens in Paris and remarkable sites such as Versailles, Chantilly and Giverny located less than two hours from the city. Our architectural walking tours and art museum tours delve deeply into how gardens influence paintings, architecture and urban design. Our sensorial tours explore where, how and why today’s chefs, designers, restaurateurs, and city planners are all inspired by gardens. For the first-time or the returning tourists, we believe that it’s not only what you see, but how you learn about it that makes your experience more memorable.
