The Epicenter of Art & History

The Louvre

Embark on an immersive exploration of the Louvre, tailored to provide a comprehensive and intimate view of the museum’s most renowned collections.

Unlike standard large-group tours that rush you past the art, this semi-private experience allows for deeper engagement. We don't just look at the paintings; we decode them.

What We Will See

The Medieval Louvre

Before it was a museum, it was a fortress. We start underground, uncovering the original moat and keep from the 12th century, tracing the evolution from medieval defense to royal palace.

Ancient Greek Treasures

We will stand in awe of the Venus de Milo, the embodiment of ancient Greek beauty, and witness the imposing grace of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, dramatically positioned at the top of the Daru staircase.

The Apollo Gallery

Experience the sheer opulence of the Galerie d'Apollon. A testament to the grandeur of French royalty, this hall served as the inspiration for the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. It houses the French Crown Jewels and stunning ceiling frescoes.

Masterpieces of Painting

We journey through the eras of Neo-Classicism and Romanticism. You'll admire the precision of David's Coronation of Napoleon and the emotional depth of Géricault's Raft of the Medusa.
