The experience

You arrive at the Louvre Pyramid entrance near the statue of Louis XIV on horseback and start whenever you're ready. The audio guide, available in ten languages, plays stories and historical context as you move through the galleries, letting you linger on the pieces that hold your attention and skip past the rest. The narration covers everything from ancient Egyptian objects to the French Crown Jewels, but the choice of what to hear and how long to stand in front of each work stays entirely with you.

The museum's layout can feel overwhelming on a first visit, and the audio guide solves that by anchoring you to specific artworks: the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory of Samothrace. You get context and stories without the pace of a group tour, and without the silence of walking through alone. Wheelchair access covers all areas and surfaces. Public transportation stops are nearby if you need them.
