Louvre I
Our crew consulting a local map
Before the Louvre was the Louvre, or even the Palais Royal, there was a six-towered royal fortress on the site, much of which remains beneath the present Louvre
At the outbreak of WW2, the major assets of the Louvre were packed up and distributed around France for safe-keeping; there is a great exhibition on this under-way
Unusual stern view of Venus de Milo; by this time I was getting restless
Another sculpture hospital
Still my favorite, the Winged Victory
Closer view
It was a warm day in Paris
