Le Louvre

Last week, our program went to the Louvre ! It was so amazing to see La Jaconde/ La Monna Lisa/ The Mona Lisa…there are so many names for it! And, like most people say, it IS smaller than one would expect, but it dazzles all the same.

The big pyramid is one of my favorite parts about the Louvre. It is the main entrance into the museum, and once inside, looking up through all of the glass is really amazing. Did you know that the Louvre was initially built in the middle ages as a palace? Some of the original walls are still inside for people to see.

We spent about 2 hours inside the Louvre (including the time that we were lost) and we saw SO much…but we only saw a fraction of what is inside. Good thing I have a free pass for the whole year so I can go back anytime!!
