I'm an Official Private guide in France and pleased to guide people from all over the world since 8 years.
The Louvre Museum is one of my favorite places to guide in because the building itself is a museum by its architecture, its history, and thousands rooms hiding not only the most famous masterpieces in the world, but also secrets of people who in the 800 years of history of this place made it deeply rich.
The Louvre is a very special Museum, and you will feel it, through every step you will do in this building, the blowing decor and its history.

Bonjour,
I will be happy to be your guide for this tour.
We will start our private tour from your Hotel if you ask me to pick you ap there.
During this private tour i propose you to discover the largest museum in the world and the most visited museum in France.
I will be able to make you travel in time during this tour because the Louvre crossed 800 years to our days.
My tour permits you to enjoy the most beautiful masterpieces of the Museum in its different départements but also learn a lot about the building itself.
You will smile to the famous Mona Lisa, meet Venus de Milos( you can't shake her hand :) sorry), see the Winged Victory of Samothrace, assist at Napoleon's coronation, and even participate at the "Three Glorious " Revolution with Delacroix.
But also you will dance in the most beautiful Ball Rooms of the Palace, see secret doors, and step on historical staircases.
And this rich travel in time ends with a splendid reception in Napoleon the III Apartments(if opened).
