Itinerary

Louvre Museum
We enter via a side entrance for pre-booked tickets and take a moment to freshen up first. Before exploring the Museum, we take a moment to discuss why the glass Pyramid was built.
We will be talking about how the Louvre was erected over the centuries, how the Greeks and Romans influenced Michelangelo, what painting inspired the Statue of Liberty. Highlights and much more included. (Venus de Milo, Mona Lisa, Winged Victory, The Raft of The Medusa). Depending on guest preferences, a visit to the Apartments of Napoleon III is also possible.
Though making sure all the iconic features are covered, the itinerary is versatile and adjusted to the last minute changing reality of a busy museum.
Private groups up to 6.
