You'll see the masterworks—Mona Lisa, Venus of Milo—and hear stories about the French royal court that shaped these collections. Reserved entry tickets mean no queuing at the door, leaving more time to actually look.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the museum and head straight in via your reserved entry. Two and a half hours is enough to cover the famous pieces and a curated selection of surrounding works without rushing. Your guide will move at your pace, stopping to explain the histories and court politics that give context to what you're seeing. Evening light in the galleries changes the mood entirely—fewer tourists, quieter spaces, the paintings feel less crowded. Wear comfortable shoes; you'll cover decent ground.
Good to know
Visitors under 18 and EEA residents under 26 get free admission with valid ID and proof of residency. You'll arrange your own transport to the museum. The tour suits all fitness levels, but expect to be on your feet the whole time.
