Editor's take

1 hour 30 minutes with up to 20 people makes Memories France's English tour a short evening choice. The listing names the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and Winged Victory. Consider the 19:00 departure if you want those works covered before the museum closes.

The general description also mentions two hours, so use the shorter booking duration when planning your evening. At 19:00, this leaves no time before 20:30 room clearance for another gallery visit. Wheelchair users cannot join, and missing the tour means no refund.
