Discovering the Louvre and Tuileries Palaces

A tour, guided by a professional augmented in virtual reality!

Thanks to the virtual reality headset, time and immersive capsules accompany the visit of the guide in the flesh and blood Vladina or Michel and always in a small group (max 10-12 people)

An original way of conducting a visit

From medieval times to contemporary history, you will travel back in time to the great stages that have shaped the Louvre over the centuries

And in a subtle balance, without an audio guide or narrated content, it is with the guide that you will follow the evolution of the Palaces, and it is he who will give the best to enter into immersion in an environment modeled in 360° with your helmet…

Projected centuries back, you will meet the people of a historic Paris, in the heart of the Louvre and the Tuileries.

The Journey

  • The Cour Carrée, inside the historic courtyard of the medieval and Renaissance palace. This is the first stop shown on your map.
  • The Pavillon de l’Horloge (formerly the Pavillon Sully), which marks the passage between the Cour Carrée and the Cour Napoléon. It is the historic heart of the Louvre and the transition point between the two great courtyards
  • The Cour Napoléon, located to the west of Pei’s pyramid, on the historic esplanade where the Grand Louvre once stood before the nineteenth-century transformations
  • The Place du Carrousel, at the foot of the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. This is the last stop on your route, before opening up to the Tuileries Gardens
