Louvre: Complet

We headed back to the Louvre today to see the rest of the collection. There are three wings, and we thought we had only seen one. Turned out, though, that we had seen two (which is why we were so darned tired after our first trip), and so a leisurely walk through was had.

The gentleman at the left cracked Isabella up, his beard being the funniest to her. We looked at all of the marble statues and went through Napoleon's apartment. It was amazing to see the rooms and imagine what kinds of parties that little man might host.

A few other items we liked were some of the portraits in the late French paintings, especially those that featured children.

This day's walkthrough was much more relaxed and less crowded than our other visit. If'n you are heading to the Louvre steer clear of the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo wing until the end. It's totally worthwhile to deal with the crowds, just know there is way more available that most of the people aren't bothering to see!

I know we are fortunate because we are able to be here so long that we can go back to places if we haven't finished looking around, so it's fair to say, if you only have on day, deal with the crowds, but make time for the other wings, too.
