I'm finally getting around to posting these photos I took at the Louvre last Monday. It was 14 juillet or Bastille Day to most, which not only means big national celebrations, but also free entry to most museums around Paris. Win win. So I took full advantage, having not been to the Louvre for oh, about 7 years...and had a good nosey around. You could spend hours in here, and I did. The place is huge. I headed straight to the Egyptians and made my way through the ancient civilisations, through the statue hall and up to the apartments of Napoleon and Marie Antoinette. I spent at least three hours wandering around, which included having a drink on the terrace overlooking the pyramids. When it's sunny this is quite possibly one of the best spots in Paris. My feet were a little sore by the end and I did have to dodge a lot of tourists, but it was worth it, especially to capture the shots below.
Beautiful photos! Louvre is one of the most incredible museums in Paris.
ReplyDeleteThanks Iida! Yes, it's an amazing place x

Beautiful photos! I used to go to the Louvre all the time when I was living there (because friend/family who came to visit always wanted to see the Mona Lisa), but I still didn't manage to see the entire museum. It's been ages though, so I'd love to go back. Here in London, the British Museum also has this glass roof with amazing light.
ReplyDeletefantastic fotos. makes me want to go again but don't fancy all the walking about. xxx
ReplyDeleteYou captured Le Louvre perfectly.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is a nice discovery. I'm a French girl and I'm moving to London in December, so if you have any tips regarding jobs and housing, I'd be happy ! :-)
