In front of the Louvre. Larger and even more intimidating than Versailles, but it turned out to be much more enjoyable. We stuck to the Denon wing--Greek and Roman classics, Middle Ages, Italian Renaissance, French Neoclassicalism and Romantism. Josh's highlight was the Grand Gallery (we saw 5 da Vinci's and several Raphael). Emily's was Venus de Milo and the Botticelli frescos.
In front of my favorite of Monet's Waterlillies at L'Orangerie. This was a smaller, more relaxed musuem just off the Tuileries garden between the Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe.
A shot of the Arc de Triomphe from the middle of the Champs Elysees. We climbed to the top of the Arc for a great 360 view of Paris.
One more day to go and then we'll be ready to get home!!!
