The "Heroes of Greek mythology in the Louvre" tour
- The objective of this guided visit to the Louvre museum is to show the childrenin a playful way, "the greek miracle"
- It presents ancient Greek sculpture based onr the exploits of the gods of ancient mythology
- The aim is to understand why Greek sculpture is so famous and why this period has had such an impact on artists over the years
- The guide will answer questions such as "Why did Herakles do 12 labors?" / "How did Perseus kill the Gorgon?" / "How did the gods help them?" / "How did the Greeks represent their gods, their heroes?" / "Why did the Gods accede to men's desires as they did to Pygmalion?"
- A discovery of Greek antiquity through mythology and its heroes within the reach of the youngest but also very instructive for parents, grandparents or accompanying persons
- A small booklet will accompany the children throughout the visit

Written by MARTIN, on 22-05-2024
The same service provider, but not the same speaker, so the quality of the service was greatly affected: With Nathalie, on Greek mythology, there was nothing to complain about: a booklet was distributed for the children, and the speech was adapted to their needs and kept in a language they could relate to, so the children really appreciated it. With Marine, on the masterpieces of the Louvre, it was quite the opposite: no support, a choppy speech, the children hated it.

The animator knew how to get the children involved while teaching them lots of things. My granddaughter was delighted with her visit. I highly recommend the children's activities at the Louvre (it's the 2nd one we've done and we're going to continue).
- Fantastic!

Fantastic! A huge thank you to Marie! A golden guide, who not only made young and old feel at ease, but also captured everyone's attention! It was superb, and we'll be back with pleasure!
- Great for the whole family!

Written by Valerie Larricq, 26-02-2024
The format, the humor, the anecdotes, the tone, the explanations... it was just perfect. I highly recommend this experience for young and old alike. It's a great way to rediscover a small part of this beautiful Louvre Museum and inspire children to go further. Kind regards Valérie
- It was great!
Written by Cécile , on 26-02-2024
An experience I recommend and would do again. The visit was easy, lively, exciting and engaging. A completely different way of coming to the museum, with someone who knows the place, the anecdotes and how to talk to children to get them interested AND channeled. Thank you so much for a wonderful time!
- Lots of information
Written by Alice LEPEZ, on 26-02-2024
first of all, the "group" organization needs to be reviewed with the Louvre reception desk: too long a wait for bags to be "searched" at the entrance. Not enough checkroom lockers. Very good knowledge on the part of the group leader, but sometimes too many details that drown out the essential. Perhaps fewer "details", but a fuller, broader sweep of Greek mythology. Regrets regarding the rather limited number of works approached in 1h30..... No difficulties in booking, nor in finding the group. I think that for this activity, I'll encourage future visitors, children - aged 8 to 12 - to review the (complex) "kinship" links between certain gods and goddesses by means of a simplified organization chart or family tree, and at the same time I'll attempt a chronological frieze to situate the different moments in history in which they intervene.
- Very interesting and well conducted

An exceptional visit with our guide Cyril, whose captivating way of bringing Greek mythology to life in this superb monument, the Louvre. Both young and old enjoyed it!
- A great storyteller!
Written by Cécilia Delépine-Vouloir, 18-02-2024
A visit that relies on the quality of the guide, and he's extraordinary. Captivating and precise, we learned a lot about Greek mythology and lexicon! He was able to adapt to the defective audio guides and did a great job!
