The Louvre
Next morning we returned to the Louvre soon after opening time.
We looked at a lot of very exciting and attractive paintings, until we found the room which held the Mona Lisa.
You know what it looks like, but here it is as we were able to see it from where we were.
It was so small and difficult to see up close because of the number of people trying to visit it.
At the same time, no-one seemed to be interested in the exciting, lively, much larger painting on the wall nearby. Here it is to show you.
The building itself is magnificent; here is one of the galleries.
And there are sculptures and antiquities as well, including a large exhibition of Egyptian artefacts.
We managed to visit only the main art floor, and one of the antiquities floors.
By then we were well satisfied, even overfed, with marvellous art works, so we reluctantly left the gallery and moved on .
Outside, we were right in the centre of Paris.
