The Louvre after hours
Deserted galleries after closing, the Mona Lisa without the crush, a curator to yourself: we open the world's greatest museum outside public hours.

Heritage in Paris: the city-museum, just for you
The Louvre when it is closed, Versailles before the crowd.
Paris
Paris holds more masterpieces per square metre than any city in Europe, yet its treasures reveal themselves differently behind closed doors. TGZ Conciergerie opens the Louvre after hours, the private apartments of Versailles, the studios and foundations one never visits alone — accompanied by a curator or an art historian.
The experience
Heritage & Culture
Versailles beyond the crowds
The Grand Apartments, the King's private cabinets, the Hall of Mirrors at first light: privileged access to the château, before the gates open or after they close.
Studios and behind the scenes
A living artist's studio, a museum's reserves, the backstage of a great institution: we compose the route money alone never opens — the network does.

Heritage & Culture
The great museums, doors closed
The Louvre after hours, the Musée d'Orsay and its Impressionists outside public times, the Fondation Louis Vuitton in the Bois de Boulogne, the collections never shown: we arrange the confidential visit with a curator or an art historian, at your pace, with no queue and no crowd.
Reserves closed to the public, rooms reopened for you alone, hangings explained by those who conceived them: access is negotiated institution by institution, and prepared to your interests — a painter, a period, a school.
Versailles and the royal monuments
The Château de Versailles before the gates open, the Grand Apartments and the King's private cabinets, Sainte-Chapelle and its stained glass in the morning light: we open the royal monuments away from the flow, with a guide expert in the history of the court.
The Trianon estate, the Queen's Hamlet, Le Nôtre's gardens at daybreak: the route is composed like a walk through the Grand Siècle, transfers and lunch coordinated.
Marais galleries and artist studios
The Marais holds the sharpest galleries in the capital, from contemporary to tribal art. We open their doors with the dealers, arrange a meeting with an artist in the studio, and take you to the private foundations the public overlooks.
A confidential preview, a visit to a private collection, advice on an acquisition from an independent expert: we guide the eye as much as the purchase, in discretion.
The cultural day, end to end
Chauffeured car, curator, lunch in the salon of a private mansion, then an evening at the Opéra Garnier in a box: we compose the whole day, monument after monument, so all you do is look.
