Art & Culture Cou-Tours in Paris


Nationally Licensed by the French Ministry of Culture as a Guide-Conférencière, Anya Firestone designs and hosts tailored Paris journeys built on storytelling through art and culture. Offering single or multiple-day visits for her clients, every visit she creates is a made-to-measure tour (a cou-tour, if you will) with a unique theme. Each cou-tour can be designed for individuals, couples, thruples, families with children, small groups, luxury travel agents, and corporate events.

Storytelling

Rather than pointing to paintings and simply stating who made them and what each means, Firestone uses Paris and its museums to illustrate– literally and figuratively–the story of art itself: How did Paris become the capital for art as well as fashion, gastronomy, literature, and architecture? Firestone’s cou-tours, in telling the story of art, also tell the story of Paris, and its rise as the epicenter for culture.

Made-to-Measure

Firestone does not offer basic tours. Thematized per her clients requests, however avant-garde they may be: a bachelorette lingerie workshop after exploring nudes across art history? A puppy treasure hunt in the Louvre for a precocious child who loves dogs? A Drinkable Feast exploration of Hemingway’s Paris for those who like art but prefer martinis? A royal visit to the queens of Paris, from Marie Antoinette to contemporary drag?—Firestone researches, designs, and hosts each unique cou-Tour.

Accessible

Every tour can be designed as handicap-accessible, including the creation of special wheelchair routes, stair access, visits for the visually impaired or blind, and sign-language translators. We do not discriminate against anyone. Everyone needs a cou-tour.

“Her Tailored Tours Make Paris a Perfect Fit: Whether your love is art, drink, or luxury branding, there’s an itinerary especially for you.”
