Description
This tour begins at the France Tourisme Agency, a 3-minute walk from the Louvre. Meet your licensed guide, receive your timed entrance ticket, and get an introduction to the museum’s history. Then proceed together to the group entrance and enter the Louvre Museum.
Follow a two-hour highlights route designed to simplify your visit. Start with classical treasures in the Greek and Roman collections, including the Venus de Milo. Your guide will highlight details often missed and explain the myths behind the sculptures. Next, ascend the grand staircase to see the Winged Victory of Samothrace, displayed dramatically as if arriving by sea.
The tour’s centerpiece is Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. With a maximum of six participants, your guide helps you navigate the crowded galleries to find the best viewing spot while explaining why this portrait became a global icon. Depending on crowd levels and access, you may also see other renowned works such as Veronese’s The Wedding at Cana, Jacques-Louis David’s The Coronation of Napoleon, Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People, Géricault’s The Raft of the Medusa, and the ancient Code of Hammurabi. Each piece is connected to stories of power, religion, revolution, and legend in Western art history.
The guided part of the tour ends inside the museum, allowing you to explore further at your own pace. You can revisit favorite artworks, visit the Egyptian antiquities or decorative arts sections, or rest under the glass Pyramid before exiting.
