Au programme
Nous accèderons ensemble rapidement au musée puis nous rendrons dans la partie la plus ancienne du Louvre. Je vous ferai découvrir les 800 ans d'histoire du Louvre, ancienne résidence des rois de France, grâce à des illustrations et des reconstitutions.
Nous irons ensuite à la découverte de ce palais(galerie d'Apollon, salle des caryatides, aile Napoleon III...) et des principaux chefs d'oeuvre du musée (La Joconde, la victoire de Samothrace, les esclaves de Michel-Ange, le sphinx de Tanis...). Je vous montrerai aussi certains endroits plus secrets du Louvre qui valent vraiment le détour.
Cela sera toujours amusant grâce à de nombreuses anecdotes collectées au fil du temps. Evidemment si vous avez des centres d'intérêts particuliers, faites m'en part et nous pourrons adapter la visite.
A bientôt en petit groupe au Louvre!
