What if the facades of the Louvre revealed their best-kept secrets from centuries past? Embark on an unusual guided tour of the Louvre's facades through eight centuries of french history.

From Napoleonic bees to Egyptian symbols and strange serpents biting their own tails, each facade of the palace tells a secret story. Cultival offers you a guided tour to unravel the mysteries of this legendary place, where esotericism has intertwined with French History for more than 800 years.

Accompanied by one of our guides, stroll from the Lescot wing to the Carrousel Arch of Triumph to discover symbols hidden in stone, silent witnesses to successive eras: from Philippe Auguste's medieval fortress in the 12th century to the pyramid commissioned by François Mitterrand, not forgetting the secret marks of the French kings and Napoleon III, each stop on this guided tour reveals a new unknown facet of the palace. A true exploration where colonnades, bas-reliefs, sculptures of the Cour Carrée and Tuileries gardens tell the hidden history of the world's largest museum.

A unique architectural and cultural experience that will make you see this monument and Paris in a completely new light, far from the usual tourist paths.
