We spent the morning exploring The Louvre, along with thousands of other visitors. We were so glad we bought tickets ahead of time because we bypassed long line ups to buy tickets so it was nice to wait 5 minutes and go right in. You enter under the glass pyramid where the main reception area is and you venture out to the wings which have each their own areas of interest. We spent approximately 4 hours exploring, walked alot of miles up and down stairs to different levels, rooms. The inside of this chateau was already a piece of art and then put all these antiquities in it, pretty wild, the pictures tell all.
