Summer vacations 2024: what to do with the family and children at the Louvre?

During the 2024 summer vacations, from July 6 to August 31, the Musée du Louvre welcomes families of all ages with a very special program featuring creative workshops, guided tours and entertainment galore!

During the summer vacations of 2024, we're taking advantage of the hot weather to take refuge in the museums of Paris: so, this summer, we're inviting you to discover the program of the most famous of them all: the Louvre. From July 6 to 31, the Musée du Louvre is planning a great program for young and old alike, to discover its collections, unique in the world, with the whole family.

As usual, the Louvre maintains its children's area, the Studio, open every day (according to museum opening hours) with games to discover some of the museum's key works of art. Table soccer, archery, memory games... All activities are free and autonomous. But that's not all: the museum also offers creative workshops for children aged 3 and over (accompanied by their parents), storytelling tours to discover the legendary stories behind art, and guided tours to explore the Louvre through children's eyes.

In short, the program is already shaping up to be a busy one, and the good news is that admission is free for under-18s!
