Description

Follow our guide and step into the world’s largest museum: the Louvre Museum.

Before becoming a museum in 1793, the Louvre was for centuries one of the main residences of the kings of France. Located in the heart of Paris, it covers 73,000 m² and houses the world’s most extensive collection of artworks, spanning more than 9,000 years of history, from ancient civilizations to the 19th century. The collections are divided into eight departments: Egyptian Antiquities, Greek, Etruscan and Roman Antiquities, Near Eastern Antiquities, Islamic Art, Paintings, Sculptures, Decorative Arts.

Meet your guide at the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. With your reserved access, they will lead you directly through the museum’s masterpieces on a complete orientation tour.

Your itinerary includes the major highlights: Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa painted in 1506, the medieval foundations of the palace, the treasures of antiquity with the Venus de Milo and the Caryatids, a walk through the Etruscan collections, Pharaonic Egypt with the Seated Scribe and a mummy, the Galerie d’Apollon and its jewels, great French paintings such as Liberty Leading the People, royal decorative arts and the apartments of Napoleon III, as well as the Richelieu Wing with its glorious French sculptures.

We will also explore the rich history of the Ancient Near East through the civilizations of Mesopotamia, Syria, Persia and Islamic Art, remarkable witnesses to the origins of writing, architecture and culture.

Then discover Paris at your own pace from the comfort of an air-conditioned panoramic Toot bus as you journey through centuries of history, art, and architecture with its hop-on hop-off service. Meet your guide at the departure point near the elegant Palais Garnier, a masterpiece of 19th-century architecture and a symbol of Parisian cultural life. From there, settle into your comfortable coach for a complete orientation tour through the city’s most celebrated districts.
