Ramblings of a retiree in France
Photo from Paris: Day 2
Today my beloved achieved a long-held ambition, he visited the Louvre for the first time! He’s tried to visit many times before but has always been put off by the lengthy queues. During the pandemic, entrance to all museums has to be pre-booked, a system which I frankly much prefer. On the other hand, I have visited the Louvre many times. So today’s quick trip around was a rather pleasant reminder. I say quick because he had a client presentation this morning and had to get back to the hotel for 18:00 for a Zoom meeting. I, on the other hand, had some free time to wander around which I very much enjoy.

I loved the Louvre. I went very early in the morning almost as soon as it was open and within a few hours it was very busy.

I was at the Louvre twice in my younger years. Later on I was staying away because of the long queues, especially at 30 degrees C in summer.

They’re having to limit numbers so it wasn’t at all crowded

I’ve been there several times and need to go even more to see it all! It fills up with people so fast!

You could spend a week there and still not see everything

I have a feeling that it was at its most crowded in the years immediately after a certain best seller concerning the Mona Lisa, and the inverted glass pyramid became a cult phenomenon.

Paris is so lovely! Not sure if there is a christmas market, with all the covid restrictions, but if: it’s worth to check it out 😍
