The Louvre

Since we only had ten hours in Paris, we chose a bare minimum of three things we wanted to do there. -The Louvre, Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower. Paris has the nice feature that museums are free for school aged kids. The Louvre was very reasonably priced at 8.50 euros and even better, buying your ticket was ease free as you could just get it from a ticket machine. More tourist attractions should do this.

I was very suitably impressed with the Louvre. I would have liked more time to appreciate the paintings but it was so crowded, we chose the paths less travelled.

This statue on the left got our "poser's award".

It seems a terrible and yet a good thing that so much of the art which we recognised could be attributed not to being well educated but to being well "Simpsonised" as in the Simpsons.
