Urban planner and founder of Maison Oslo
I trained as an urban planner, and I guide every Maison Oslo walk myself. I show Oslo the way a planner reads a city: why the palace sits on that hill, how a motorway ended up under the fjord, how a villa town grew out of a fire. On the art walks we follow a century of Scandinavian painting in order, up to Munch. I guide at weekends and in the evenings, in small groups, so there is always time for your questions, in English or in French.
