Editor's take

The Louvre's medieval walls and Apollo Gallery are part of Matteo Allavena's proposed visit. The 2-hour English option takes up to six people, with the Tanis Sphinx and Mona Lisa also named. You can choose it for an introduction combining the palace's history with its art.

The booking option specifies English, although the general description also mentions visits in French. Meals, drinks and transfers are excluded, so you make your own way to Café Marly. Cancel at least 24 hours before departure to receive a full refund.

What does Matteo Allavena's Louvre option include?

Let's meet in front of the entrance of the café Marly (below the richlieu door) just in front of the Pyramid of the Louvre. There is a picture of the small pyramid visible on my page.
