After having been picked up from the lobby of your downtown hotel in Paris, you will be accompanied by our driver guide to The Louvre for a guided tour of this amazing Museum to admire its 3 main works: the Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory of Samothrace and the Mona Lisa, painted by Leonardo da Vinci at the beginning of the 16th century. You will then be free to spend a little more time in the Louvre to visit other sections of the largest museum in the world.
The Palace
"A medieval fortress, the palace of the kings of France, and a museum for the last two centuries, the architecture of the Louvre Palace bears witness to more than 800 years of history."
Two Centuries as a Museum
" Established in 1793 by the French Republic, the Louvre Museum, in the company of the Ashmolean Museum (1683), the Dresden Museum (1744) and the Vatican Museum (1784) is one of the earliest European museums."
The Collections
"Divided into 8 departments, the Louvre collections incorporate works dating from the birth of the great antique civilisations right up to the first half of the XIXth century, thereby confirming its encyclopedic vocation."
Renovations of the Grand Louvre
"The "Grand Louvre" is a part of the "Grand Travaux" or Major Works defined by the President of the Republic Francois Mitterrand, which also includes the new Bibliotheque Nationale de France, the Opera Bastille and the Grande Arche de la Defense."
