Louvre


This past summer when I visited Paris, France, I insisted that my family and I go to the Louvre.  Surrounding the entrance is an array of very intricate and ornate buildings; however, the area in which people enter through is very modern.  Both are beautiful, but I must say the modern entrance is a bit more unexpected.  














The paintings inside the Louvre are, for the most part, very large and grand.  The Mona Lisa, one of the biggest attractions, is significantly smaller and a little disappointing in terms of size for me.






 

I really enjoyed my visit to the Louvre, and I would certainly recommend it to others.  There is a little bit of something for everybody and a little bit of everybody there.  It was beautiful to see people from all over the globe congregate to view some of the greatest works in the world.  There were so many responses in so many languages to the same pieces of artwork.  The impact it had on us all was limitless.
