Skip the Line: Paris Louvre Museum and Da Vinci Code Small Group Tour

Description:

• Follow in the footsteps of Robert Langdon, the principal character in Dan Brown's bestseller, the Da Vinci Code on this small group tour through Paris. The novel is brought to life as you trace the steps from Vendome Square and the Ritz Hotel to the Louvre and Saint Sulpice Church.
  
  Your English speaking guide will show you Vendome Square where you will find the flashy Ritz Hotel where Robert Langdon stayed in Paris during his search for clues into the death of curator Jacques Sauniere.
  
  Visit the Louvre and search for clues hidden in Leonardo da Vinci's masterpieces such as the 'Mona Lisa' and the 'Virgin of the Rocks'. Originally constructed as a royal residence , the museum opened in the late 18th Century and today holds over 30,000 works of art.
  
  Discover the Church of Saint Sulpice and look for the 'Rose Line' as mentioned in the book. This is the place where the albino monk Silas visited late at night to search for the keystone that would supposedly unlock the secrets of the Holy Grail. Saint Sulpice is said to have the most eccentric history of any building in Paris. The church is virtually identical in architecture to that of Notre Dame and played host to the baptisms of the Marquis de Sade and Baudelaire, as well as the marriage of Victor Hugo.
