  • Well even if the most spectacular one is the one at the Pyramid, you can also enter through Richelieu Side.

    As soon as you get our of the Metro, going in direction to the Pyramid you cross the Richeliu corridor, and at your right there is a little entrance with no queue at all.

    Good luck!

    Muesum shut - read a book

    Due to the fact that the major museums operate weekends, it is still customary for the major museums to shut one day within the working week.

    Whilst this is an inconvenience, it is of course possible to plan around it.

    Places live the Lourve and the Pompidou shut on Tuesdays and the Orsay on Mondays.

    Check out the websites of the museums you plan to visit in order to confirm details and plan accordingly.

    You must see the Louvre Museum! Home of Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and so many other works of art.

    The Louvre, ofcourse !
    Here you can find the famous ´Mona Lisa´ painted by Leonardo Da Vinci. It is the most important piece of art of the museum....But you also have to see the other paintings, they are just as beautiful as the Mona....

    The Louvre is probably the greatest museum in the world. It's overwhelming in scope, and cannot be tackled in one visit. To really appreciate the Louvre, you'd want 2 or 3 days. But, if your visiting Paris and not just the Louvre, set a game plan before going. Decide what your interest is, paintings, sculptures, etc. then visit those.

    Rick Steves' book, Mona Winks is an excellent guide to the Louvre and other European museums and will make the experience more fullfilling. Also, many books by Irving Stone will give you a better understanding of art history, including; Depths of Glory (about the beginnings of Impressionism); Agony and the Estasy (Michaelangelo); and Lust for Life (Van Gogh).

    Visit the Louvre, but be sure to go in the off season. At peak times, you'll have to wait in line for 3 - 4 hours just to see one painting, such as the Mona Lisa.

    Other great museums are the Orsay, L'Onagerie, Rodin Museum, the Pompidou Center.

  • Musee du Louvre is great, but very very big... you need 3 days to visit it completely... if you want to go to only one museum, go to Musee d'Orsay, very nice!!!
