Be prepared to queue!
The Louvre is worth the wait..if you have seen films or read the book ok the Divinci Code you will probably be as excited as I was!

It is amazing to wonder around this huge (beautiful) building full of the most amazing pieces of art from statues, models, paintings and carvings..
Admittedly not everything in there is amazing, there are a few boring looking items and pictures but the majority of items in The Louvre are great..

It is well sign posted inside and the staff are helpful and almost all staff know some English which makes things a lot easier..
Food and drink are expensive and brining your own drink is out of the question as the security checks you have to go through before you can enter do not permit you to take your own liquid in.

Try and visit on the first Sunday of every month and you gain free entry! However as you can imagine it will be a little busier and there will be a long wait to get in.
It is impossible to look at everything in The Louvre in the detail you would like in one day - impossible! Go back another day and look at the rest or plan ahead and work out which departments you want to look in..

It is an experience you won't forget..
