Every stay in the capital deserves a visit to the Louvre, which will allow you to see the many treasures housed in the largest museum in Paris. Its collections include works of Western art, from the Middle Ages to 1848, from ancient Eastern, Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan, Roman civilizations, graphic arts and the art of Islam. From room to room, the former royal palace unveils its masterpieces: the Gioconda, the Raft of the Medusa, the Venus de Milo, the Victory of Samothrace... In total, some 35,000 works!

The Louvre Pyramid is an iconic structure located in the central courtyard of the Louvre Museum in Paris, known as Cour Napoléon. Designed by Chinese-American architect Ieoh Ming Pei, it was opened in 1989.
This glass and metal pyramid stands 21.6 metres tall and is made up of 603 glass panels. Its modern design contrasts with the museum's classical architecture, creating a bright and airy access point for visitors. Despite initial controversy, the pyramid has become a symbol of Paris and one of the city's most photographed attractions.
