Things to do in The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris

Enjoy museums like the Louvre and Orsay in two days! We visited a total of six attractions in two days. It's best to book the Louvre and Sainte-Chapelle in advance!

I took a tour with Guide Nowon, and it was fantastic! Not only did they explain the artworks wonderfully, but even though I was traveling alone, they took great photos for me. I had considered using an audio guide, but it was much more convenient because the group had a separate entrance line.

The small-group guided tour I chose was truly excellent, especially as I was wondering how to best experience the immense Louvre. If I had gone alone, I would have simply looked at the artworks, taken a photo, and moved on. Instead, this tour allowed me to view each piece from multiple perspectives and consider its historical background, meaning, and the artist's intentions. From the moment we started, even before entering the museum, Guide Choi Jun-ho's explanations of France's history and present day, spanning from the 1st century BC, made the three hours at the Louvre feel incredibly short. I truly realized the meaning of the phrase, "You see as much as you know." While a tour that simply provides explanations would also be good, I highly recommend the small-group tour where you can ask questions, engage in conversation, and immerse yourself in the history of each era. Thank you, Guide Choi Jun-ho, for such an enjoyable and informative time!

The guide's kind explanations and the songs in between movements made it a time to fully enjoy the romance of Paris.

Thank you for working so hard to manage and explain to so many people for so long. The Louvre is so vast that my child got bored at times, but it was definitely better to move around while listening to the explanations...

Some passes saved a lot of money, and I ended up going to the Musée d'Orsay, which I originally didn't plan to visit, and saw Van Gogh's self-portrait.

Our private tour of Montmartre was one of the highlights of our Paris trip. There were eight of us, and the experience felt perfectly paced — not rushed and never overwhelming. We learned so much about the area’s rich history and artistic legacy, with fascinating and sometimes surprising stories about Napoleon Bonaparte, Pablo Picasso, and Vincent van Gogh, among others. It was also such a fun touch to keep an eye out for the Pac-Man mosaics hidden around the neighborhood by Invader — it added a playful, modern twist to the historic surroundings. Our guide, Yazid, was the absolute best — incredibly engaging, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. He even wrapped up the tour with a fun little story about Chupa Chups, then surprised each of us with a lollipop to end on a sweet note. He was also responsive after the tour and kindly shared the playlist he played during our walk. It was such a thoughtful and memorable experience — highly recommended!

First of all, I deeply appreciate you quickly rescheduling our museum tour, which became impossible due to a sudden strike, and allowing us to complete the tour successfully. While waiting for the museum to open, it was raining and the weather was cold, but you stayed with us until the end, so I didn't feel lonely even in a foreign land so far away. I enjoyed the full-fledged museum tour, where you explained the flow of art history and the historical background through major works in an easy and fun way. I was so happy to be able to see even the intricately depicted parts of 'Madonna of Chancellor Rolin,' which you ambitiously showed us until the end. I don't want to end with just one time, and if I have the opportunity, I would like to do a season 2 tour with other works^^
