Today we successfully replaced the glass for the plongeur and walked around the Louvre for 5 hours. We are buggered.
Hope things are better for you all this
morning than is predicted...
The Louvre is bigger than the Vatican and the displays equal the BM or the great Roman museums. The Egyptian section is astoundingly good. The French have stolen nothing but the very best there. Lyn liked the Venus de Milo. The Winged Victory of Samothrace was being repaired. So it goes on my list of things I've missed, like the Unicorn Tapestries and 7 of the windows in Sainte Chapelle.

We made an early decision to only look at galleries that interested us. The Mona Lisa is small and constantly mobbed. The rest is great, but we were in a state of sensory overload. Frankly, we are feeling strung out anyway, concerned about home and family in the bushfires and feeling powerless.
