Paris Louvre 2

As you may remember from French history, there were no more attached heads to put crowns on so this museum seemed to be a good place to keep them.
I wonder if Napoleon was putting the crown on Josephine in front of the pope
This was the zigzag line to view the very tiny Mona Lisa
What I read is the Venus de Milo is so famous because of its most perfect preservation, and it was one of the few artifacts left in the museum after the looting Post Napoleonic war

Paris Louvre 1

Millions of people go to visit this museum every year. I really recommend it. Not because of the inexpensive price of €17 but it is just worth your time and effort so plan to spend at least three hours to five hours walking around. Plan to go before 3 PM because it closes at 5:30. It is better to go at about 1 PM or in the morning. The one attraction is the Mona Lisa and there are hundreds of people lining up to get close so that is at least a 15 minute line.

This permit is the entrance
Not just the artworks, but the building it’s just as attractive and impressive as the works inside
What would a museum be without a Caesar?
We were in a hurry since we entered at 3 PM so I didn’t stop to see what this attraction was and why they were so many people interested in it
