Louvre Audio Guide on Android
The Louvre is vast. Odyssée offers an audio experience built as a narrative: artworks speak to one another, creating meaning across the entire visit.
Why visiting the Louvre can be challenging
Too many rooms and artworks for a single visit
Even with several hours on site, it is impossible to see everything without a guiding thread.
Lack of context to understand what you are looking at
The artworks are extraordinary, but without a narrative, their meaning can quickly fade.
Traditional audio guides often feel like checklists
One artwork after another, with little connection or overarching perspective.

Three audio tours designed as narratives
Odyssée currently offers three curated routes at the Louvre.
Each is conceived as a continuous experience, where artworks converse from one chapter to the next, forming a coherent story throughout the visit.
Masterpieces of Ancient Egypt
This tour spans more than three millennia of Egyptian civilisation through statues, reliefs, and ritual objects. Anchored by iconic works such as the Seated Scribe, the narrative extends to lesser-known pieces — the Relief of Seti I and Hathor or the statue of Senusret III — to explore power, religion, and representations of the body, and to understand how the Egyptians conceived time, death, and eternity.
Treasures of the Denon Wing
This tour approaches the Denon Wing as a sequence of great visual narratives. Around iconic masterpieces such as the Winged Victory of Samothrace, it reconsiders more complex works — The Raft of the Medusa, ancient reliefs — to reveal how artists have staged drama, glory, and power across centuries.
Encounters with the Italian Masters of the Renaissance
From Leonardo to Raphael, this tour explores the Italian Renaissance as a moment of transformation. Alongside universally known masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa, it invites listeners to pause before lesser-known works — The Madonna of the Meadow, The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne — to understand how artists experimented, hesitated, and reshaped their way of seeing the world.
Discover freely, explore further at your own pace
Odyssée offers a free introductory track to enter the narrative and understand the approach. Full tours are then available in a premium version, allowing you to follow the story in its entirety, without interruption.
