Overview of your Paris tour:

"The Louvre is intended to never be completely finished, but rather to be continuously transformed" (Pierre Fontaine, 1817). During a lecture, I listened to French artist Christian Boltansky talk about his early experiences at the Louvre when he was a fine arts student. He said that in order to discover the intricacies of this museum he began "following" random visitors and so visiting areas of the museum that he might never have visited otherwise. From that moment on I started doing the same thing, and voila . . . I have discovered this magnificent museum far and wide. Let yourself be transported within an aesthetic and dynamic journey by who has visited this museum thousands of times. And together, we will experience the pleasure of unexpected discovery. Art history is an incredible set of other stories (sometimes forgotten, sometimes acclaimed, but often linked) and…the Louvre, with its more than 35, 000 exhibited artworks, is an amazing stage to experience these multiple interconnections.

Your Paris tour itinerary

*Medieval Louvre *Greek & Roman antiquities (Venus de Milo, Victory of Samothrace) *Apollo Gallery *Italian art (I am an Italian art historian…so, do I really have to tell you why it's worth it?) *French art (Gericault, Delacroix…) *Italian Sculptors (Canova's Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss, Michelangelo…) This is a suggested itinerary, let me know what you would like to see and do and I will customize the tour accordingly!

What's included
  • Private Guide
What's extra
  • Other: Personal expenses. The museum tickets are not included. Please purchase them promptly as they sell out quickly in the high season. The official Louvre site is the best place, if not available try FNAC website. Tickets are timed and individually named. I can send you the links to buy the e-tickets. NOTE: This itinerary doesn't include the temporary exhibitions of the Museum. HOWEVER: In addition to the Musée du Louvre collections, your ticket gives you same-day access to the temporary collections and free admission to the Musée Eugène-Delacroix within 48 hours. Musée Eugène-Delacroix is a little, hidden, amazing Parisian museum that must be seen. If you want to include in your visit this museum (or Louvre's temporary exhibitions), please contact me for details and a quote.
