After having been picked up
from the lobby of your downtown hotel in Paris, you will be
accompanied by our driver guide to The Louvre for a guided
tour of this amazing Museum to admire its 3 main works:
the Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory of Samothrace and the Mona
Lisa, painted by Leonardo da Vinci at the beginning of the
16th century.
You will then be free to spend a little more
time in the Louvre to visit other sections of the largest
museum in the world.
The Palace
"A
medieval fortress, the palace of the kings of France, and a
museum for the last two centuries, the architecture of the
Louvre Palace bears witness to more than 800 years of
history."
Two Centuries as a Museum
"
Established in 1793 by the French Republic, the Louvre
Museum, in the company of the Ashmolean Museum (1683), the
Dresden Museum (1744) and the Vatican Museum (1784) is one
of the earliest European museums."
The Collections
"Divided
into 8 departments, the Louvre collections incorporate works
dating from the birth of the great antique civilisations
right up to the first half of the XIXth century, thereby
confirming its encyclopedic vocation."
Renovations of the Grand
Louvre
"The
"Grand Louvre" is a part of the "Grand Travaux" or Major
Works defined by the President of the Republic Francois
Mitterrand, which also includes the new Bibliotheque
Nationale de France, the Opera Bastille and the Grande Arche
de la Defense."
