Coisas para fazer em Gare du Nord

Enjoy museums like the Louvre and Orsay in two days! We visited a total of six facilities in two days. It's best to book the Louvre and Sainte-Chapelle in advance!

I went on a tour with Guide Nowon, and it was fantastic! Not only did they explain the artworks wonderfully, but even though I joined alone, they took great photos for me. I had considered an audio guide, but it was much more convenient because the group entrance line was completely different.

The small group guided tour I chose after much deliberation on how to best experience the immense Louvre was truly excellent. If I had gone alone, I would have just looked at the artworks, taken a photo, and moved on. But this tour allowed me to view each piece from multiple perspectives and consider its historical background, meaning, and the artist's intentions. From the moment before entering the museum, Guide Choi Jun-ho's explanations of France's history and present, spanning from the 1st century BC, made the three hours at the Louvre feel incredibly short. I truly realized the saying, "The more you know, the more you see." While a tour that simply involves listening to explanations is good, I highly recommend a small group tour where you can ask questions, engage in conversation, and immerse yourself in the history of each era. Thank you, Guide Choi Jun-ho, for creating such an enjoyable and informative time!

It was a time to fully enjoy the romance of Paris, with the guide's kind explanations and songs played during the transfers.

You worked hard for a long time, leading many people and explaining things. Although my child got bored because the Louvre is so vast, it was definitely good to move around while listening to the explanations.

Some passes saved a lot of money. I originally didn't plan to visit the Musée d'Orsay, but ended up going and saw Van Gogh's self-portrait.

Our private tour of Montmartre was one of the highlights of our Paris trip. There were eight of us, and the experience felt perfectly paced — not rushed and never overwhelming. We learned so much about the area’s rich history and artistic legacy, with fascinating and sometimes surprising stories about Napoleon Bonaparte, Pablo Picasso, and Vincent van Gogh, among others. It was also such a fun touch to keep an eye out for the Pac-Man mosaics hidden around the neighborhood by Invader — it added a playful, modern twist to the historic surroundings. Our guide, Yazid, was the absolute best — incredibly engaging, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. He even wrapped up the tour with a fun little story about Chupa Chups, then surprised each of us with a lollipop to end on a sweet note. He was also responsive after the tour and kindly shared the playlist he played during our walk. It was such a thoughtful and memorable experience — highly recommended!

First and foremost, I deeply appreciate you quickly rescheduling our museum tour when it became impossible due to the sudden strike, allowing us to successfully complete it. While waiting for the museum to open, despite the rain and cold weather, you stayed with us until the end, making me feel less lonely even in a foreign land thousands of miles away. The main museum tour itself was also enjoyable, as you explained the flow of art history and the historical background through key artworks in an easy-to-understand and engaging way. I was also happy to be able to see every intricate detail of 'The Madonna of Chancellor Rolin,' which you ambitiously showed us until the very end. If given the chance, I would love to do a 'Season 2' tour with other artworks instead of just stopping at one!^^
