Guillaume Fabre-Luce
"What I love most about being a guide is the chance to share great stories. Art works like the Nike of Samothrace and The Raft of the Medusa, or buildings like Notre Dame, are really as rich as novels, and you can read them like you would a book. I’ve lead tours in Paris for years, but the Louvre in particular takes storytelling to another level. Being able to stand just 10 inches away from the Code of Hammurabi, and reach out 3,000 years back into the ancient Mesopotamian past, is a feeling unlike any other. One incredible treasure leads to another. Walking inside the Louvre's medieval moat, and passing by an Egyptian Sphinx makes history compellingly alive. It’s why I enjoy teaching in the Louvre so much.”
My favorite place to catch a classic film by Kurosawa, Ford or Renoir is on rue Champollion, where you’ll find not one, but three mythic theatres: Le champo, Le Reflet Médicis and La Filmothèque du Quartier Latin.
After pursing his studies in both Film and Art History in Germany and France, Guillaume worked in the film industry in Paris and London. When he’s not leading tours in the Louvre, Montmartre or the Marais, Guillaume works as a screenwriter and director for French TV shows and movies. If you happen to be a film buff, be sure to chat him up about the history of French cinema!
