Day 01

Guided Louvre Masterpieces Tour

We shall start with a 2-hour guided tour through the Musee du Louvre. From the sparkling glass pyramid that sends light shimmering across its grand courtyard to the opulent facade fit for a literal king, the Louvre is a national treasure of France and a symbol of Paris. But looks are not everything, and it would not be much without the 35,000 works of art on display, just a fraction of the overall collection of 380,000 individual objects. Enjoy the ultimate fine art appreciation experience on this 2-hour guided tour around the Louvre with an Art Historian tour guide.

Day 02

Walk Through the Jardin des Tuileries

The Jardin des Tuileries, the emblematic French garden and the oldest in Paris, is a historical and cultural vestige located in the heart of the capital. The garden is located immediately west of the Louvre Museum, and the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel marks the entrance. The Tuileries offers a natural and picturesque transition between the Royal Palace and the Seine. Take a little look back at the history of the Tuileries Gardens. In the past, this royal garden was part of the Tuileries Palace. The latter was destroyed in 1871 during the Paris Commune. However, its spirit and elegance remain in the garden. Its name evokes the industrial past of the district, once dedicated to the manufacture of tiles.

Day 03

Visit the Orangerie Museum

We shall visit the Orangerie Museum, an art gallery of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings situated in the west corner of the Tuileries Gardens near Place de la Concorde in Paris.

Day 04

History and Views at Place de la Concorde

The Place de la Concorde has seen many historical events over the centuries. It was created in 1755 as Place Louis XV and was designed to showcase the equestrian statue of King Louis XV. During the French Revolution, it was the scene of many tragic events, including the guillotine that was installed in its center and where Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were executed. After the Revolution, the square was renamed Place de la Concorde to symbolize national reconciliation. It then underwent many transformations over the centuries, with the addition of fountains, obelisks, and statues. Today, it is a symbol of peace and reconciliation, and it hosts many festive and cultural events. The must-see attractions of the Place de la Concorde are:
There is the Luxor Obelisk, which was offered to France by Egypt in the nineteenth century. At 23 meters high, it is one of the most imposing obelisks in the world.
The two monumental fountains, the Fountain of the Seas and the Fountain of the Rivers, are also must-see attractions in the square.
From the Place de la Concorde, you can admire an impressive panorama. You can see the Champs-Élysées, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, as well as the National Assembly. It also offers a magnificent view of the Jardin des Tuileries, with its tree-lined paths and flower beds.
