• Cross an Item off the Bucket List
• Meet your private guide out front a cafe just steps away from the world famous Louvre Museum, housed within the largest palace in all of Europe. With an astonishingly rich collection of art ranging from Ancient Greece all the way to the 19th century, the Louvre is arguably unmatched. Witness Da Vinci's timeless The Mona Lisa, the statues of Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace, both over 2,000 years old dating back to ancient Greece, and the 4,600-year-old Great Sphinx of Tanis, a relic of the Egyptians. See Eugene Delacroix's iconic 17th century Liberty Leading the People representing victory by the people in the French Revolution, and check out the original Code of Hammurabi, a legal code depicted on a black basalt tablet shaped like an index finger, which dates back to a time just under 4,000 years ago. Bear witness to incredible history at the Louvre. Return to your hotel independently.
• With some time at leisure, discover the charming hilltop neighborhood of Montmartre on a self-guided stroll. Located in the 18th arrondissement, take a moment to escape the big city for a walk along the quaint cobblestone streets and admire the panoramic views of the City of Lights. ​Within your final trip documents, you’ll receive a supplemental composition which showcases our suggestions for the stroll, as selected by Kensington Tours Destination Experts.
