A great museum experience for our kids ages 9 and 5.
When we met Agathe outside the museum, the entry was teeming with people - a perfect storm of French school vacations and the Louvre being closed on Tuesdays. Ticket holders were waiting two hours to get in, but Agathe whisked us past the line and into the museum.
Agathe’s magic was that she presented us with a storyline that was easy for our kids to relate to: these artists were rule-breakers! She introduced us to the “rules” that artists of the time were expected to follow, then helped the kids identify ways in which impressionist artists broke those rules. I actually think our 9-year-old will remember what she learned!
Agathe was gentle, patient and understanding of the fluctuations in our kids’ energy and attention levels after a long day in Paris. Her English is impeccable.
