Loving the Louvre

Paris in less than two days - Episode Nine

Less than two days to do Paris? No problem. How about less than two hours to do the Louvre? Well... let's do it anyway.

As the unofficial tour guide for our group's visit to the Louvre (big mistake - I had never been there myself), I was pushing for us to find the underground entrance with the ticket machines and shorter lines. Well, it was a good idea, but I had no idea that entering through the Glass Pyramid actually took us to the ticket machines and the short lines. Anyway, we got in okay.

It was a marvelous experience for everyone in the group. I was particularly enamoured with seeing the Venus de Milo and the Mona Lisa. The other displays were also wonderful and just being in the building with its ornate architecture was thrilling. It was not enough time to do it justice, but I am so glad that we made the effort to go there. It was definitely worth it.
