A BIT OF HISTORY : Did you know that, before being the world's largest museum, the Louvre was first and foremost a medieval fortress and the French kings' palace? The Louvre is a must-see not only for its amazing collection, but also for the history of the building itself ! And the Musée d'Orsay focuses on 19th century art only, and especially the Impressionist turning point in the 1870s. Van Gogh, Monet and Renoir will become your best friends!
YOUR TOUR : Two of the world’s largest museums is obviously a must, but going on your own could be overwhelming. Luckily, your local tour guide knows the collections like the back of their hands and takes you in with fast-line tickets to both museums! No lines, a friendly guide dedicated to you, taking time to reveal what makes a masterpiece, and a comfortable tour at your own pace.
MEETING PLACE: Meet your private local guide by the big statue of King Louis XIV on his horse, in front of the Glass Pyramid of the museum. The exact address is : Cour Napoléon et Pyramide du Louvre, 75001 Paris
LOCAL INSIGHT : The two museums are very close, on each side of the Seine river. This is the perfect way to experience the Louvre & Orsay without feeling lost. Ask your guide to cross the Tuileries Garden on your way to the Orsay museum, that will be a nice break in the middle of your tour!
