Violette was extraordinary—an endless source of stories and an impressively well-educated art historian. I’ve done the standard Louvre highlights tour before, yet she made it feel entirely new, as though I were seeing and understanding the art for the first time. What made her tour especially memorable was the way she wove in pieces I had overlooked before and tied everything together in a beautifully clear timeline, linking the evolution of the Louvre’s architecture with the chronology of the artworks. She transformed a familiar tour into something fresh, immersive, and unforgettable. Of course, seeing the Monna Lisa at closing time is a must.
