This extended tour combines the Louvre and Versailles and offers you a rich and immersive experience in French history, art, and architecture! First, you will discover the Louvre as a mega-museum but also as a place where kings and queens used to live and write French history. You will get a deeper understanding of some of the world's masterpieces like the Mona Lisa, the Venus of Milo, the Winged Victory, etc. , and a clearer vision of some of art history concepts. You will learn that a big part of the Louvre, like the Cour Carrée and the Apollo Gallery, are closely linked to the Versailles creator - "The Sun" King Louis XIV. In the second part of the tour, we will go to explore the Versailles (by car with a driver). Through vivid examples, you will not only discover the grandiose nature of the royal power of the last French rulers but also secret stories of their queens, court, and splendid courtesans.
We will start either in Versailles or in the Louvre - depending on tickets availability LOUVRE: Medieval Louvre The world's biggest Egyptian Sphinx Venus of Milo Sleeping hermaphrodite Psyche revived by Cupid's kiss Victory of Samothrace The-Apollo Gallery Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci The wedding at Cana by Veronese Coronation of Napoleon I Michelangelo's "Slaves" sculptures LUNCH - your choice : either close to/inside the Louvre or a take away lunch on the way to Versailles as we drive. Lunch duration will also depend on the tickets availability. As all the entrances are time-slotted and in summer, tickets may be hard to get, we'll improvise with lunch. VERSAILLES PALACE: Royal Chapel Royal salons such as Hercules, Abundance, Venus, Diana, Mars, Mercury and Apollo War Room Hall of Mirrors Peace Room Queen's bedchamber Coronation of Napoleon Room Hall of French History and Hall of battles The Versailles Gardens and fountains
