Our second trip to the Louvre and it was enjoyable but too busy to really enjoy the art on display in many sections which seems crazy considering how large the museum is. We did really like the history of the Louvre section which we had not seen before. Next time we intend on exploring the Arabic section. The extensive gift shop and library on the basement level are quite good.

I didn't go inside as the queues are long as you could see in the picture. I have been before and it was massive inside,too roughly 2 hours estimate tour of the Museum. It was tiring but it would be worthwhile. Once you have been,I don't think you would like to go in again unless you are a massive fan of art museum and statues.

"Elegance in Glass: The Louvre Pyramid"

The Louvre Pyramid in Paris is a mesmerizing blend of art and architecture. Its geometric grace captivates, drawing you into the world of wonders that lie beneath. A modern masterpiece that pays homage to history's treasures within.

Great place for plenty of photo ops and great views. The pyramid was beautiful and the inside had plenty of walking room to explore several rooms of the facility. Make sure to book your ticket in advance and ask someone that assists the line as there are different entrances to the pyramid.

You must get tickets in advance because getting them on the spot is near to impossible - you can-but you'll waste a lot of time . It's just better to buy the tickets in advance and have already planned what you want to visit. It's enormous and you could spend 3 full days to visit all of it. However, if you have a minimum appreciation of art, you should go.

If you are there to see the art gallery and sculptures, I can assure you that you will no doubt enjoy it. However, if you are there to take pictures, then you will no doubt miss the best thing about this gallery. It is massive and there are lots of things to see. I would recommend purchasing the rented audio narrator device because there are lots of foreigners and people who will be there to see it for the first time. Furthermore, the sandwiches that are sold outside the cafeteria are as good as the ones inside the cafeteria. People there are also nice enough to entertain questions. Hope you guys will love it. I have uploaded some pictures outside the museum.

One of the many iconic photo locations in Paris and especially in the Louvre gardens. People come here both by day and night to really appreciate the views and get some excellent photos. Beware though it will always be crowded, especially in high season, so be prepared to wait to get some of the good shots.
