The itinerary

Your historical family adventure begins hundreds of years ago in the Medieval foundations of the Louvre; a military fortress turned royal residence, long before the construction of the iconic glass pyramids and before it became the world’s most iconic and most visited museum. Let your children be the actors of their own experience, you'll be surprised how much knowledge they can handle!

Armed with beautifully crafted activity sheets and accompanied by your very own art history expert, your family will discover the highlights of the Louvre from the Great Sphynx of Tanis and the Venus de Milo to the Winged Victory of Samothrace. Youngsters will have the chance to discover which of the Kings & Queens of France lived in the Louvre, what makes a portrait a portrait and even to draw their very own version of the much-adored Mona Lisa.

From Greek and Roman sculpture to Italian Renaissance painting, the whole family will be discovering and observing together. You'll be amazed who'll be the most captivated. For the final part of the tour, your wish is our guide’s command – a trip to Ancient Egypt? A stroll through the decadent apartments of Napoleon III? A peek at the Roman weaponry or Royal jewels? Your guide will adapt the final part of your tour according to your family’s requests and by the end of the tour, the whole family will comprehend the Great Masters of the Louvre!

This tour excludes entry to temporary exhibitions - Please contact us for private tours and specific requests.

Our skip-the-line tickets give priority access to the museum, however, please note that due to the Vigipirate Plan (increased security measures), there may be a waiting period at the security checkpoint at the entrance to the museum.

Excellent, excellent, excellent tour of the Louvre with Raphaelle. She was perfect for my kids 9 and 11, parents and grandmother. I learned so much about the art and sculptures and felt that I had the benefit of the an Art History degree after spending a few hours with her. I would sign up again as her tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Excellent!!

Thank you Astrid for a wonderful experience. You made our Paris with kids trip a success. We booked the Louvre for kids tour for our two kids, boy and girl, 6.5 and 5 yo respectively. We are experienced with these tours and sometimes they are a waste of time and the kids just don’t engage enough. But sometimes when the guide has the enthusiasm and energy to connect it’s an amazing experience. Well done Astrid and thank you.

Astrid was absolutely, wonderfully brilliant! The way that she engaged our daughter Ella (in spite of Ella having been unwell that morning and being tired) so beautifully / patiently and worked so wonderfully to impart the history of the Louvre and so much of its culture and inspiration with a clear desire to inspire our daughter and no doubt every other parents' child(ren) that she helps see the best bits of Paris through her eyes, knowledge and passion. Well done!..... Jacqui and I truly appreciated spending our two hours with Astrid and learnt lots ourselves.
