Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
Your experience begins at the Louvre Museum at your selected entry time, where you will proceed directly to the security check using the ticket sent to you in advance. For a smoother arrival, many experienced visitors prefer entering through the Carrousel du Louvre underground entrance, accessible from Rue de Rivoli or the Palais Royal – Musée du Louvre metro station, which often provides a more comfortable and less crowded access than the main Pyramid entrance. This is a fully self-guided visit with no physical meeting point and no live guide to meet, allowing you to explore the museum independently with the help of your included audio guide, which provides informative commentary and helps you navigate the vast collections across the Denon, Sully, and Richelieu wings.

Stop 2
Once inside, you are free to explore the Louvre entirely at your own pace, discovering some of the most celebrated masterpieces in the world. You may begin with the iconic Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci in the Denon Wing, then admire the impressive Winged Victory of Samothrace positioned dramatically at the top of the staircase, and continue toward the timeless Venus de Milo in the Sully Wing. As you move through the galleries, you will encounter remarkable works such as Liberty Leading the People by Delacroix, The Coronation of Napoleon by Jacques-Louis David, and The Raft of the Medusa by Géricault. The museum also houses extensive collections of Ancient Egyptian antiquities, Greek and Roman sculptures, decorative arts, and the richly decorated Napoleon III Apartments, as well as the magnificent Gallery of Apollo with its ornate ceiling and historic treasures.
