About Me – ArtInParis by Valentina Rubino

About me

An Italian guide who chose Paris — and lives it every day.

Valentina Rubino — Licensed Tour Guide, Paris

Born and raised in Calabria — a land of deep roots and open horizons over the Mediterranean — I began my journey driven by a profound curiosity for history, art, and the stories that places hold.

Rome was my first great chapter: a world unto itself, where art is not merely studied but breathed in every day.

After university, the next step felt both natural and bold: Paris. More than a city of art, it became a true life choice. Here I decided to turn my passion into a profession, obtaining my official tour guide licence and shaping what I now consider the work of my life.

A love of art history, cultural heritage, and the transmission of knowledge has always been at my core. To narrate, to explain, to make beauty accessible — that is what drives me every day.

Over the years I have collaborated with major public and private museum institutions, including the Louvre, the Palace of Versailles, and the Fondation Louis Vuitton.

Today my mission is to share with you an authentic view of Paris: that of an Italian woman who chose this city and lives it every day.

Through guided tours of monuments, museums and neighbourhoods, I take you on a journey through history, anecdotes and everyday life — to make your stay not just interesting, but truly unforgettable.
