Meet your guide at the Arc du Carrousel, near the Louvre Museum in central Paris. The world-famous art gallery draws the crowds, and its entrance lines — even in the quieter evening hours — can be long. Bypass the lines with your skip-the-line entrance ticket, and head inside to discover the Louvre’s wealth of artwork.

With some 3,500 pieces of art, a visit to the Louvre can be overwhelming. So remove the hassle, and follow your guide to uncover the museum's highlights. Stand before Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, one of the best-known pieces of art in the world, and hear little-known facts about iconic sculptures such as the Venus de Milo, an ancient statue of the Greek goddess Aphrodite. Learn about the different genres of art represented at the impressive gallery, and hear tips for things to look out for as you walk around the exhibition space.

After 2.5 hours inside the museum, your wine experience starts! Stroll the short distance from the Louvre to nearby Ô Chateau — a quintessentially Parisian bar that was voted the world’s best wine bar by the online guide Bonjour Paris.

Take a seat, soak up the welcoming ambiance, and enjoy your flight of wine — three glasses of different varietals that have each been selected specially for your group. Team the wine with some nibbles, too, and savor melt-in-the-mouth charcuterie and pungent cheese as you chat about French art and food with your guide and group. Your tour finishes inside the wine bar, but you can stay for longer if you wish.
