If you ever go to Paris and don’t have a hotel to stay in you can store your luggage for free at the Louvre. They say it’s for museum guests but you don’t need to pay admission to access the luggage storage area and no one asks for a ticket. Ended up saving us about 30 euros!
The Louvre Art Museum
Paris, France
April 24
The Louvre was our first stop and only our splurge in Paris. It is HUGE! Huge, upon huge. We spent about 6 hours there and still did not see all 300,000 pieces of art.
Louvre Art Museum Entrance
April 24
The infamous glass pyramids over the entrance weren't as ugly as I thought they'd be. We were very lucky that we didnt' have to wait in a long line too.
Giant Art in the giant Louvre

Throughout the Louvre were actual artists painting copies of famous art. Really neat-o.

We made sure to see the famous ladies of the Louvre.
Mona Lisa
April 24
I've heard from so many people that the Mona Lisa is way smaller than they'd pictured. This led me to believe that the thing was tiny. As it turns out, it was bigger than I thought, Ha!

The museum is way more lax on picture taking than any of the ones in Italy and the UK. It was really cool seeing actual artists painting there too. It wasn’t too crowded, luckily, and we definitely saw Americans here than anywhere else on our trip.
Venus de Milo
April 24
The Venus de Milo was completed around 100 BC by an unknown artist. She is nearly as tall as Phil!
The "Poovre"
April 24
There you have it. Louvre = amazing.
