Is there time to see the Louve?
We are signed up for Cruising the Seine including London and Paris (12 day tour).. the Louve isn't in the itinerary but we do get an 'afternoon free' in Paris before sailing downstream. Is it enough time to see the Louve? or should we book an extra day at the end of the tour when we return to Paris for departure
Many thanks for any insights

You need a day and advise buying your tickets as soon as possible.
Certainly you could see part of the museum but certainly not all. Its huge. In general I always recommend adding days pre and/or post tour in places like Paris or London where there is so much to see.
They must have changed the itinerary because in 2023 the Louvre was an after-hours event. We only saw a fraction of the exhibits but it was still wonderful. I have been numerous times and still have not seen everything. I would definitely use a post-tour day so you are not rushed. Enjoy.
I’m not a museum person. I like them but only a few hours at a time. The Louvre would take a long time to thoroughly explore. We have been to the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, and they say that if you observed each display for no more than a minute, and you explored eight hours every day, it would take ten years to see everything. If you are big into museums, I would give the Louvre at least one day.
