Itinerary
We’ll begin with Delacroix and the spirit of Romantic revolution, then move through Courbet’s Realism — where workers, women, and peasants became subjects of high art for the first time. From there, you’ll see how Impressionists like Monet, Renoir, and Degas shattered conventions with their visions of light, leisure, and urban life. We’ll continue into Post-Impressionism and Van Gogh’s vivid, emotional canvases, and finish with the Pointillists like Seurat and Signac, whose dots and color theories paved the way for the 20th century.

About Paris
Paris pairs grand boulevards and riverside monuments with café terraces, art collections of global stature and neighbourhoods that feel like villages.
The Seine runs through the heart of the city, past the Île de la Cité with Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle, the long façade of the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay in its former railway station. Downriver, the Eiffel Tower rises over the Champ de Mars, and the Arc de Triomphe crowns the Champs-Élysées.
