Louvre Museum

Visit the Louvre museum, the most famous museum in the world covering almost 10,000 years of history!

Did you know?

The Louvre was not supposed to be a museum when they built it. It was a fortress to protect Paris in case of English invasion from Rouen by the River Seine.
If we estimate that you spend 10 seconds in front of each painting and statue, it would take you approximately 96 hours to fully visit the museum.
Parisians were totally against the construction of the pyramids. Of course, now we are quite proud of it!

On time, friendly, accommodating, easy going, and fun! This was an amazing experience! Clem was so friendly and warm, and set the tone for the day right off the bat (don’t worry about anything). The vehicle was clean, quiet, and had lots of room for our party of two adults and our two young adult children. We didn’t realize how flexible the itinerary was, and we’re thrilled that we could squeeze in some of the historic sights that we had hoped to visit. Clem even booked us a wonderful lunch with local charm and wonderful food. 10/10 would definitely work with Clem again!

Private Versailles Castle experience Une belle journée à Versailles en compagnie de Clémence! Je n'avais jamais eu l'occasion de visiter le château et j'ai passé un très bon moment. Clémence s'est occupé du transport, des billets et du déjeuner : le temps était également de la partie et nous avons pu nous promener dans le domaine! J'ai pu prendre de magnifiques photos : je recommande! A beautiful day in Versailles with Clémence ! I never had the opportunity to visit the Versailles Castle before and I had a lovely time. Clémence took care of everything and I just had to enjoy the moment. The weather was also lovely and we walked along the park. I took some beautiful pictures and I really recommend this tour!

Wonderful day at Versailles Wonderful day spent with Clémence at Versailles. We enjoyed tasty french products and had a fabulous picnic at Versailles gardens. We learnt many things about Versailles, Paris, and didn't want to end the day. I highly recommend you to book a day at Versailles with Clémence, next time we'll try the Champagne tour!

We love Leo! A must-do tour if you visit Montmartre: Leo is absolutely phenomenal! Between his knowledge of Paris, his ability to understand the needs of his group, and his fun personality - this will be one of the best decisions you make when visiting Paris! We did this as a half day tour, so it was easy to add into our trip. Try to snag a full day Paris tour with him as well- 10/10 recommend. Montmartre is such a fun neighborhood and Leo gave us the best tour along with great recommendations for the rest of our trip.

Une journée dépaysante ! Cette journée en Champagne, en compagnie de Chloé, nous ne sommes pas prêts de l'oublier, mon compagnon et moi ! C'était un vrai bonheur de déguster des grands crus et de découvrir des coins reculés de cette si belle région. Chloé nous partage sa passion avec une grande générosité... On reprendrait bien une petite coupe !

Dégustations et rigolades Chloé est une guide tout à la fois professionnelle et drôle. Sympathique et pédagogue, la dégustation devient tout de suite plus intéressante avec ses explications techniques. J'ai découverts que j'adorais particulièrement le champagne Pinot Noir, je pourrais mieux choisir à l'avenir ce que j'achète. Une journée au top, même sous la pluie!

Olivier G

Une véritable découverte !

Un très bon moment que je recommande ! OG
