This tour was so inspiring and thought provoking, I was expecting something different from a general museum tour and it did not disappoint! It was so informative but also we were encouraged to discuss the ideas presented as well.

The Louvre: art and love highlights very particular aspects of masterpieces that are often overlooked. History of art and culture is also history of love, and love comes in many different forms. This tour explores very important and influential yet often overlooked aspects of Eros which is BDSM (bondage, domination, sadomasochism). We seek to throw a light at the forces that created western art, especially Catholicism, its cult of martyres and veneration of pain. We dive deep into history of true meaning of what passion so as to understand the context and the true inspiration behind some of the greatest works of art ever created.
We will meet you at the Arc du Carrousel between the Louvre Museum and the Tuilerie's gardens in order to step into the museum together.

The Louvre is an overwhelming place and touring with Barbara was the best way possible to learn about the history of the Museum and its masterpieces. Not only Barbara brought us to see the masterpieces of the Museum, but also the less known (and crowded) areas. Definitely, something we would never have seen if not because of our guide! Do not hesitate: book this tour!
A kink and scholar visit that will change your previews ideas of what you can see at the Louvre!! Highly recommended visit
Thank you so much Barbara&Boris for the amazing tour. It was very interesting, we learned so many thing that we didn’t know. Both of them were very professionals and with lots of jokes. I would definitely recommend the tour.
Amazing time with Barbara & Boris! The visit was very interesting, I learnt so much and could se the Louvre under a different perspective, time passed too quickly :) Thanks again !!
Original... And brilliant ! Highly recommended !! Another way to look at art. Thanks Barbara and Boris !
I loved the sense of humour, the subtlety and the incredible erudition of these two tour guides. They make you feel comfortable during the whole visit with clear explanations, especially given the sophisticated concepts they sometimes adopt.
