Irene Meneghetti
Born in Paris but raised in Australia, Irene has a rich cultural background, and has split her time between Paris and Berlin over the last decade. After studying Art History at the Sorbonne, she found her calling in the profession of furniture conservation and restoration, an activity that brings her closer to artworks and combines her two loves: art and woodworking.
Irene is also passionate about history and loves to constantly learn about the history of Paris, her hometown. She has been a guide since 2018 and loves sharing her knowledge of art, history, architecture, and all of the things that she holds dear.
This tour was the high point of my three weeks traveling in Europe and Iceland. I had read "A Tale of Two Cities" and the tour brought to life the history of the French Revolution. We walked the path of the revolutionary activities and were treated to a deep and insightful presentation of the context and the activities that took place in the locations we visited. Irene was outstanding in her knowledge and communication of the history. We learned so much about the history and the feelings of the French people who realized this dramatic transformation of world events. Thank you.
Irene was very knowledgeable and accessible. We had a great time with lots of information on such a turbulent time. Highly recommended!
Fantastic tour with Irene, she’s great at her job and is a pleasure to be with. The inclusion of Corbusier, however, seems entirely unnecessary considering his Nazi sympathies. Maybe cut out that part!
