A licensed guide will accompany you throughout the visit to help you optimize your time in this maze of galleries. 

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 and covering an area of 73,000 m², it houses the largest collection of artworks in the world, tracing 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, and Decorative Arts.

Meet your guide at the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, where he will welcome the group.
Thanks to your reserved access, your guide will lead you directly through the museum’s masterpieces during a comprehensive orientation tour.
