We’ll even discuss a few master painters like Michelangelo and Delacroix.From the smiling Mona Lisa to the 19th century masters, our passionate guides will show you what you need to see at the Louvre, as well as a few surprises not in the guidebooks.Highlights generally include (if artwork is not on loan or being restored etc.):
