The queue at the ticketing booth was long but the queue moved very quickly. Tickets can also be purchased online Louvre. Do take note that the museum is closed on every Tuesdays. The nearest Metro station is Palais Royal Musée du Louvre which is a direct line from our hotel.
One of the reasons that people visit Louvre is to see Mona Lisa. It was so crowded! I couldn't take a photo with the zoom lens because there were so many hands and heads.
The Louvre is the best museum that I have visited by far. Their collections include Decorative Art, Egyptian Antiquities, Near Eastern Antiquities, Greek, Etruscan & Roman antiquities, Islamic Art, Sculpture, Paintings and Prints & Drawings. One day will not be enough!
Do you know there is a Lover's Bridge just a few minutes from Louvre? The lovers put a lock on the bridge and toss the key into the Seine river; a symbol of locking their love forever.
From our observations
Step1: Locate a good fengshui
Step2: Secure the padlockStep3: Toss the key into the river
Step4: Pose for a photo
I first came across this while surfing the net. But if you have watched the TVB show "Triumph in the skies 2" (衝上雲霄 2), there is a scene on this! And.... we brought our own padlock! Alternatively there are also vendors selling padlocks at "tourist prices". The padlock that I brought is very tiny. You should go look at some of the padlocks - huge, pretty, colourful, unique...
