We got tickets in advance which helped with the lines. The museum is too overwhelming. We followed the Louvre website suggested itinerary for seeing the highlights. That took about an hour and a half and when we were finished we went on our own to the Crown Jewels exhibit. It is exciting to see famous works of art. It is exhausting to maneuver around the immense palace.

The "Louvre des Antiquaires" is a very nice gallery one can visit while visiting Paris. If you're interested in buying antiques or jewels or only in admiring them, then do visit this place. But if you want to actually buy jewels, make sure to avoid the two stores of Yvan Guillaume Boscher or BGC which you can find at the ground floor, facing one another.
My future husband bought me an expensive ring from here but it was a bit too large for my hand so it needed readjustments. After telling me that they can re-size it for free within a week's time here I am, more than one month later, without the ring. Not only did they make me go there asking for the ring 5 times already, without actually having it ready, but they even told me that somehow they had lost it.
Eventually they managed to find it, but they readjusted it in the worst possible way (my partner engraved it with our initials on one side of the ring and they actually cut exactly that part, so the engraving is now gone).
Plus, I asked them to write me a latter attesting that they did not make any other adjustments to it beside cutting a small part from its circle, that for example they didn't change the stones, the material or the ring itself with a replica and they said they cannot provide me with such a certificate. So I gave the ring back asking them to redo the engraving they cut and to somehow come up with an authenticity certificate. If they don't solve this situation within a few days, I will surely report them to the authorities.
I guess this says a lot about the quality and the safety of their services.

We made the mistake of not pre-buying a ticket so decided to chance the queues in the afternoon. Not a good idea! It was hot and there was no shade, our queue didn’t move for 30 minutes. Then once through security, we had to join another queue to buy a ticket (under 26 are free).
It was busy, crowded and very noisy. We saw the Mona Lisa which is by itself in a large room and the crowd is efficiently herded past it.
Advice: Prebook tickets and go in the morning.

This is a spectacular place to visit at least once in your life. I would suggest that you book your tickets in advance at least 1 or 2 months
prior to visiting. I would suggest a guided tour the first time so you can see some of the more popular pieces and then stay afterwards to walk around and enjoy all of the other artwork such has paintings, sculptures and even Napoleon 3rd apartments!! 1/2 day will give you a quick glimpse of this beautiful place however much more time is needed to see everything but it is a MUST see while in Paris!

There are only a few stores still open. The building owners are removing all antique stores to refurbish and make it a posh shopping mall. We were there January 2, 2015 and only about four stores were still occupied.

There are only 2 shops left open in this place which is supposed to be filled with high end antiques and jewelry shops according to their website. A disgrace when you have to pay 1€ per 12 minutes of parking and 1€ per person to use the lavatories.

Great place for anyone who loves antiques, however the prices are too high, where everything is beautiful, but torture for those who can not buy.

Most of the stalls were closed on all three floors. Of those left, most were jewelry and a few high end furniture stores. The stalls were mostly empty, and after talking to another antique dealer, the place was brought by someone who is trying to push the vendors out. Not sure what their intentions are and what they want to do with the location. If looking for antiques, go visit the Swiss area over in the 7th Arr........

After becoming engaged some 2 weeks earlier during our time in Spain, L now had a new dress-ring from Georg Jensen which was for that period serving as her temporary engagement ring. The reasons for our return to Paris had been revealed at the time – to find her ring proper! So off we went trawling all the major retailers around the popular place Vendome – our favourite was at Cartier and although and even though it was out of my price range we were still considering it – I could tell later however that L wasn’t completely in love with said ring so we needed to rethink. Some more research and we had decided to visit Le Louvre des Antiquaries which is actually not far away from place Vendome. There are dozens upon dozens of boutique jewellers here – many with unique vintage pieces. One such place to seek out is Valerie Danenberg Jewellers. L ended up choosing a beautiful 1930’s diamond engagement ring in the Parisian Marguerite style. Valerie has over 20 years experience in the industry and was great with us from start to finish – even with problems encountered with my bank upon payment which we thankfully later resolved. We feel that we got very good quality and value in comparison to paying for ‘the name stores’ along place Vendome. So in summary – do visit Le Louvre des Antiquaries if looking for that special piece, and in particular – visit Valerie Danenberg.
