Sandrine Voillet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sandrine Voillet is a French art historian and television presenter[1].

Voillet was educated at the École du Louvre. She has also worked in the film industry.

She made her television debut presenting Paris a three part series made for BBC 2 about her perspective of the city[1], and wrote the accompanying book[2]. These programmes were generally well received by critics, although a number perceived certain stereotypical features, including Voillet's Gallic charm, her undoubtedly good looks and the similarity of her spoken English to that of female characters in the BBC's wartime comedy series 'Allo 'Allo! [3].
