You step out of a quiet Paris street as the city softens into evening; the glass pyramid gleams against the stone palace and the Seine seems to hush, daring you to slow down. This evening tour escorts you through the Louvre's great halls when the daytime tide of visitors has thinned—an hour at the highlights lets you meet the Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory and the Venus de Milo with fewer bodies between you and the art.
