Follow your guide into the heart of Europe's largest museum: the Louvre. This guided tour is the perfect opportunity to explore the treasures of this iconic place and admire some of the most famous works in art history, such as the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, and The Rite of Napoleon I. Before becoming a museum in 1793, the Louvre served as the principal residence of the kings of France. Located in the heart of Paris, it covers a vast 73,000 m² and houses the world's most comprehensive collection of works of art, ranging from ancient civilizations over 7,000 years old to the 19th century. The collections are divided into eight departments: Egyptian Antiquities, Greek, Etruscan and Roman Antiquities, Oriental Antiquities, Islamic Arts, Paintings, Sculptures, Works of Art and Graphic Arts.
On this guided tour, your guide will reveal the stories and secrets behind the Louvre's most iconic masterpieces. You'll admire the Mona Lisa - the world-famous portrait, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1506 and often considered the most famous female face in the world. You'll also discover the Venus de Milo, an iconic Greek sculpture dating from 100 BC, representing the goddess Aphrodite, as well as the impressive 10-meter-long painting Le Sacre de Napoléon Ier, painted in 1807 by Jacques-Louis David, which captures the scene of Napoléon Bonaparte's enthronement at Notre-Dame de Paris. At the end of the tour, you can extend your Louvre experience by dining in and visiting the souvenir stores, where you'll find reproductions of the works
