Le Louvre is a must see museum in Paris. The grand palace, which houses the museum, dates from the 1100s. The palace was the royal residence until 1870. Inside are vast collections of works from ancient civilizations as well as art from the Middle Ages until 1848. See the website for much more detail: louvre.fr
There are special exhibitions and events, which are on the website. The Louvre is closed on Tuesdays as of the date of this post. It is open other days at 9:00 a.m. and closes at 6 or 9:45 p.m. on other days.
There is an entrance fee. Details can be found at the website. It is one of the places included in the Paris Pass.
It is located at 75058 Paris. The close metro is Palais-Royal Musee du Louvre lines 1 and 7
The nearby Tuileries Gardens are open at 7 or 7:30 a.m. depending on the time of year.
Of course, no visit is complete without seeing the Mona Lisa, which can be hard to see when busy.
And there's so much more to see-- a few examples of pictures.
I didn't see enough- I hope to return.
