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

Voillet was raised in Nantes and 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, and the similarity of her spoken English to that of female characters in the BBC's wartime comedy series 'Allo 'Allo! [3].
