With pre-booked and priority entrance to the Museum, you will not waste any time in your day queuing, instead only taking in the air and the atmosphere of Paris as you make your way to
the world’s most visited museum, the Louvre.
Built in the late 12th century, the Louvre began its life as a fortress. Today it guards some of the worlds’ most treasured art and antiquities. With 380,000 objects, spanning pre-history until the present century, and 35,000 pieces of art, the Louvre contains something of interest for every taste and inclination.
Housed in a building which itself has been accredited as a historic monument, the Louvre is worth a visit even if you didn’t set a foot inside! With its distinctive glass pyramid at the entrance, it has become
a must-see during a visit to Paris. The real treasure, however, is found within and you can gain
priority entrance during this walking tour with its skip-the-line ticket.
Step further into a world of wonder as you gaze at objects and art that reveal the world’s history and advancement, skill and genius, achievement and mastery. The Louvre collection is divided into separate departments, each holding its own appeal; Egyptian, Near eastern, Greek, Etruscan and Roman antiquities, Islamic Art, Sculpture, Decorative Arts, Paintings, Prints and Drawings.
Meeting/ Pick up point: At the Arc du Carrousel, which is the monumental arch with a horse drawn chariot on top visible from the courtyard of the Louvre, between the Tuilleries Garden and the Louvre entrance.
