Le Louvre

We went to Le Musee du Louvre today.  It is truly massive.  I understand why “The Da Vinci Code” was set there with all its secret codes and ciphers.  Finding our way around proved to be quite difficult – even with a map.  We got lost more in the Louvre than we have anywhere else the whole time we’ve been here.   

Of course the art was amazing, but the building itself is its own work of art.  Each room seemed like it was individually architected and truly beautiful both inside and out.  

We saw the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, St. Mary Magdalene, the Colossal Statue of Ramesses and thousands of other paintings and sculptures.  We chose to stick to the highlights because 1) it was very crowded and neither of us like crowds, 2) we kept getting lost which was making it more and more frustrating, and 3) our feet were hurting with all the walking we’ve been doing, so we saw a few things and then chose to save our feet for another day.
