Unfortunately, I was there with someone who was not interested in art or history, so it felt like we were speed walking our way through. I would recommend taking your time and making sure you are in good company :0)

Absolutely remarkable! by whatev4keri

I was able to travel to France on a High School trip and The Louvre Museum was one of our points of interests. We were only allowed to look around for 1 hour! Definitely NOT enough time! I recommend to anyone who plans to visit this fantastic place to give themselves an exorbitant amount of time in order to truly appreciate what is before them.

The first time I visited this place was 1972, and even though I was young, I tried to see what I could see in a half day. I remember the “Coronation of Napoleon” and the “Mona Lisa” and “Winged Victory” among other things.

It is HUGE! by daydreamer

I remember rushing with the rest of my school party to gawp at the Mona Lisa (much smaller in real life than expected), and then being a bit nonplussed as to which of the myriad galleries to try next.

If you’ve read The Three Musketeers, it’s great fun to imagine what the Louvre must have been like when it was a royal palace.

Wear very comfortable shoes when visiting. Also, do some homework before your visit. I knew the big names (Mona Lisa & Venus de Milo) but was overwhelmed by everything else.

A little preparation will enhance the experience.

I’ve been to Paris 4 times but have yet to set foot inside the Louvre. I’ve seen it from the outside, been to the underground shopping center thing (where you see the bottom of the pyramid) and have taken a peek inside through some windows (see the picture). But never actually went inside. It is still on my to-do list, and when I will finally visit, I plan to reserve an entire day for it. That still won’t be enough to see all, I know, but I hope it will satisfy my Louvre cravings.
