Lindsey HANSEN

American by birth, Parisienne by luck, Lindsey has been living in Paris for more than a decade. She first arrived in the city for dissertation research, and never left. Lindsey holds an MA in Contemporary Art and a PhD in French Medieval Art History. Her specialty is the architecture and sculpture of 13th-century French Gothic cathedrals, though she considers herself more a generalist with a love of all things art history, and is becoming more of a specialist of the city of Paris and its history by the day. As a certified tour guide, she gets to share her passion for art history, French history, and historic monuments with travelers. With nearly twenty years of teaching experience at all levels—from toddlers to adults in a variety of different contexts — she prides herself on creating engaging and educational guided tours for all ages of travelers.
