Fortunately, there are moments suspended in time, little bubbles of happiness that allow you to enjoy yourself and the present moment. Between weekdays and weekends, the Louvre invites you to enjoy its nightly tours.

Every Friday night, starting July 1, the Parisian museum opens its doors to us until 9:45 pm. Book your evening and dive into the infinite collections of this unmissable art place.
