The first time I went to this place

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!

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.

A tip I have about this place

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.

Why I want to go to this place

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.

A tip I have about this place

The first sunday of every month is free admission!! If you’re planning a trip to Paris and you want to check out museums, plan it around the first Sunday of the month. The museums are all free then! It means there will be crowds because everyone loves a free deal, but hey, it’s going to be crowded any day.

Also, this place is hugeeeee. It will be impossible to cover it all in one day. When you get inside, I suggest grabbing one of the Museum maps and deciding on a plan of what you want to see. Of course, the Mona Lisa is a must. Enjoy!
