Hotel Drouot
I will be happy to introduce you to the history and the insides of the auction world and art market in France. And only when you will get all the key information, we will go into Drouot, a place where every day multiple public auctions take place. You will be able to see the auctions in process, and even to participate. While watching different auctions and pre-auction exhibitions, you will learn from me all the secrets, ins and out of this fascinating business.
