The Louvre, Paris France

The Louvre Museum is a world famous museum containing one of the most popular pieces of art, The Mona Lisa. The Louvre was once a royal palace dating back to the 16th century. The present day Louvre complex is composed of several different government buildings as well as the museum. It consists of stunning architecture with several open courtyards.  I would definitely recommend visiting this attraction while in Paris.


My One and Only Tip: 
Check the Hours of Operation!- When I traveled to France, my friends and I didn't have any specific plans and just figured the museum would be open pretty much every weekday.  WRONG!


The Louvre Museum is open everyday except TUESDAYS from 9am - 6pm. It is also closed on January 1st, May 1st, and December 25th.


Sadly, we did not get to go into the museum(since it was a Tuesday) but still got the opportunity to walk around the beautiful grounds of the complex.
