Travelers will begin their afternoon adventures by meeting their guide at the Louvre’s iconic glass pyramid, built in 1989 as a modern entrance to the historic palace. With skip-the-Line entry, they will be led straight into the former royal residence, originally a medieval fortress built in the 12th century. As the world’s largest museum, the Louvre houses over 35,000 works, spanning 9,000 years of human history. During the tour, guests will explore galleries dedicated to Egyptian antiquities, Greek sculptures, and Renaissance masterpieces. The guide will explain the Louvre’s transformation from a royal palace to a public museum during the French Revolution. Participants will admire iconic works such as the Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, and Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, learning the historical significance and artistic innovation behind each. After two hours of expert guidance, travelers can continue exploring the Louvre’s treasures at their leisure.
