Short answers here. The full detail lives in the visiting guide.
See the Mona Lisa, Winged Victory and Venus de Milo first, while the rooms are quieter. The three wings meet under the pyramid in the Hall Napoléon, so knowing which wing holds what saves backtracking.
Closed Tuesdays, plus Jan 1, May 1 and Dec 25. Quietest right at 09:00 on a weekday, or on Wednesday and Friday evenings.
Book a timed slot (free visitors need one too). With a timed ticket, use the Porte des Lions or Passage Richelieu entrance instead of the pyramid.
The Mona Lisa, Winged Victory and Venus de Milo lead a list of 25 masterpieces across the Denon, Sully and Richelieu wings.
It's a video tour of about 4 hours for the highlights, with 66 stories along the route.
