Musée du Louvre

The Musée du Louvre is one of the world's great museums, combining an extraordinary art collection with the architecture of a former royal palace. From the Mona Lisa and Winged Victory to Egyptian antiquities, Islamic art, sculpture, decorative arts and the Napoleon III Apartments, the Louvre rewards both first-time visitors and those returning to explore one wing, period or collection in greater depth.

TLC Paris Concierge note: Do not try to see the entire Louvre in one visit. Choose a few priority works or one wing, book your entry in advance and leave time to enjoy the palace itself as you move between galleries. For a balanced Paris day, combine the museum with the Tuileries Garden, Palais Royal, Rue de Rivoli or a walk across Pont des Arts toward the Left Bank.
