The Louvre houses one of the world's richest collection of masterpieces in the world. The magic of this former royal residence comes to life as we unveil the incomparable artwork and history inhabiting these colossal corridors. We will embark on our Louvre exploration in the medieval section to understand the origin and evolution of the palace's construction. We then transcend into the antiquities, viewing the ancient Greek, Etruscan and Roman sculptures featuring the Venus of Milo and The Victory of Samothrace. Next, we immerse ourselves into the sumptuous decoration of the Apollo Gallery where the French crown jewels are still encased. Then we will behold the 1000 ft long Great Gallery which displays the Italian masters of the Renaissance such as Botticelli, Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci (including the infamous Mona Lisa). We'll conclude with some of the largest paintings in the Louvre including one-of-kind masterpieces by the most notable 19th-century French painters like David, Gericault and Delacroix.
