Today we had definite plans ... we were going to visit with the lovely Mona Lisa!
As you can see it was a grey, drizzly day ... perfect Museum weather!
Come walk with us through the Pyramid to enter the Louvre ... and see it through our eyes.
The Louvre buildings have dominated the heart of Paris since the 12th Century.
The fortress was once the residence of the French Kings. It became a museum in 1783.
Here we smiled at Mona Lisa from a distance ... behind hundreds of other visitors!
Laury ... this one is for you!
Perfect for container gardening ...
After our self tour of the Museum, albeit we only touched the surface of all that there is too see; we strolled along the Seine.
An Art Nouveau fence ...
We could have used one of these "parapluies" to protect us from the late afternoon heavy rain.
It was a wonderful day of culture!
However as we've always said we need to spend a week or more only visiting the Louvre so we can see it all!
