We started out on a classic cold and dark Paris morning for a blitzkrieg tour of the Louve. The lines are insane, but some of that may be because the first Sunday of every month is free. Our tour guide suggested that we aim for a Thursday evening next time, but to be careful because some galleries close at differnt times. The collection is vast and beyond impressive. I think I could spent 2-3 days there, maybe a week. We saw some of the French collection, including a room full of Rubens and a room of David. I made a game of trying to spot the Napoleonic eagles. The Mona Lisa was a much of of a "Eh" in person as I expected, I can't understand why people queue as long as they do for it.
