Musee du Louvre - Paris - Things To Do Reviews

It took me 22 years to eventually find an opportunity to visit Le Louvre... :)

No description needed of this museum...

It really is massive. I spent there one afternoon and visited :

- The Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities
- The Egyptian antiquities
- The Italian paintings

About the "stars" of the museum, I have to admit I was a bit disappointed by La Joconde... Too many people around, pushing to get a picture and finally no opportunity to really look at her and share something with this painting.
The Venus of Milo was a better experience ; there were less people around, we can be close to her and really look at her. She is amazingly simple, just beautiful and real... (well, a bit taller than any woman though :p).


I was really impresed by some the ceilings... wow...... amazing. All the collections are wide and interesting.

It is great to travel time and history in such a museum, definitly a must-see !!!!

One afternoon is not enough to see most of the museum, but anyway we could not have stayed longer because it is really exhausting!! A lot of people and a lot of walk to do just to wander in the galeries :P
I hope to go back there before I leave Paris because I missed some paintings I would have loved to see and the Islamic art exhibition...

Moreover, I would like to take some pictures as I forgot my memory card at home today... I only could take 10 pics but luckily my cousin had her camera. However, it is never the same than taking your own pics.

To be continued, I hope very soon : it is free for people under 26 on Fridays night (from 6PM :) and free for anybody on the first Sunday of each month !
