We used our passes for the Louvre for the first time today. We managed to see one floor of one wing. There are three wings, each with about four floors. We saw 17th and 18th century French paintings -- lots of them, all masterfully done.
Since I'm a photographer, not a writer, I think this will be more of a phlog than a blog. In this post I'm just going to show you some shots from the exterior and one from the interior of the
Louvre glass pyramid, designed by Pei.

The entrance to the Louvre is through this glass pyramid. You descend into the underground central atrium from which you can access the three wings, two of which you see in this photo. The photo was taken from the third.
