This musuem, by far, exceeded every expectation I had. We could have spent our entire stay in Paris gazing around The Louvre. Despite the crowds, you can manuever around well and we only experienced congestion around a few key "must-sees." Here are a few recomendations: (1) Pay the 6 lbs and get the audio tour. Since everything is in French... more

As if the exterior architecture wasn't already amazing... you could spend days here looking over the numerous works of art that are on display on the museum. It's completely baffling how the artists were able to create such masterpieces without any of the technology that exists in today's world. Not to mention trying to figure out the reasoning behind each... more

My fiance, 36, and I, 27, travel a lot because of our career, and we have always loved history and science museums, but we were surprised at how much we enjoyed the Louvre. We went on a Wednesday night around 6 PM, and we didn't have to wait in line at all. We used the self service ticket kiosks to... more

We never managed to fit the Louvre in previous visits to Paris. We know the place is vast and even if you look at each exhibit for a mere three seconds it will still take you over three months to see each exhibit on display. So from the start we knew we would not see everything and we had no... more

I'll be honest I've never been into Museums, but my boyfriend insisted for the Louvre so we took a tour with MyParisiantour.com (I wrote about their Notre Dame Towers tour in the Notre Dame section too) to make sure we got something out of it. Apart skipping the line, which was an obvious huge advantage -- this is quite possibly... more

How could you go to Paris and not go to the Louvre. All the descriptions are in French and if you rent the audio guides, the numbers by the pictures are not so clear which makes it a little difficult. Avoid the crowds, go Wed night at dinner time. Most rooms are not air conditioned so keep that in mind.... more

We only had a day and half in Paris and the Louvre was a must-see, no matter what. Knowing that the museum and the art work that it contained was massive, we made researches online to be able to prioritize what we wanted to see. The Mona-Lisa was definitely on the list. Since the Mona Lisa always had the most... more

There is not much left to say about the great Louvre. It is fantastic, jaw dropping, huge, beautiful, amazing. However, most of the tourists these days are in a hurry when visiting most attractions, especially in Paris where there is so much to see. Louvre is not a place to see in two or three hours. It's just unfair for... more

Imagine a 4-story building that extends 5 city blocks in length...and then another on the other side of the road...and then a building in the middle that attaches the two. That's the size of the Louvre - enormous beyond belief! We found it to be too big and difficult to navigate. Of course, most people go to see the three... more
