This was actually my fourth day in Paris but I didn’t want to put the photos of me goofing around Disneyland up, I’ll save that stuff for Facebook!
The plan was to visit The Louvre that day. So I took the metro to Tuileries, had a crêpe at a stall by the entrance, wandered Place de la Concorde opposite the garden entrance, walked through the gardens and saw L’Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, then onto Musée du Louvre.
I have heard people talk at length about how disappointing the Mona Lisa is. I don’t think those people appreciate art or history so. It’s more important than its size. Having said that, it did irritate me how many bloody tourists were all over it! I mean I know everyone wants a look, but stop hogging it with your big head please. Look, and then make way for the million other people in the queue! *rant rant rant* I think I was more excited to see the Venus de Milo to be honest. Maybe because of the Gummy Venus episode of The Simpsons. Oh yeah. I went there. Classic art to modern cult viewing. TV can be educational!
Anyway, after the Louvre, I went on to the Pompidou Center to see the modern art collection. Along the way, I stopped off to see the Fontaine des Innocents which is the last picture above.
It's All Bright
