Our guide to Closing Time At The Louvre: The Mona Lisa At Her Most Peaceful

As one of the world’s most famous paintings, the Mona Lisa rarely gets much peace. During regular visiting hours, she is almost constantly mobbed by hundreds of people, severely compromising any time you get to spend with her. In order to avoid the crowds, your guide will take you to see her after most visitors have left and give you plenty of space to enjoy her beauty. 

Tested and perfected through countless research trips, your itinerary inverts the normal Louvre route allowing you to see much more than other visitors who are on the normal tours that try to fit the rest of the museum into 1.5 hours. 

During the tour, your guide will show you the Louvre’s most treasured sights, including the historic foundations of the Kings’ palace moat, Greek and Roman sculptures like the ‘Venus de Milo’, ‘Cupid & Psyche’, and Michelangelo’s ‘Slaves’; and many of the greatest works ever created by French artists such as ‘Liberty Leading the People by Delacroix and ‘The Raft of Medusa’ by Géricault. You will also see France’s old crown jewels, the world-famous ‘Winged Victory’ monument, and works from Italian painters like Caravaggio, Raphael, and da Vinci. 

There are many ways to see the Louvre, but only one way shows you all the best works and gets you in front of the Mona Lisa after most of the crowds have left. Your guide takes care of all the time and logistics so all you have to do is enjoy the art.
