I went to the Louvre 3 times total and enjoyed it every time I went. Access: Metro 1 (yellow line) or 7(pink line) - stop at Palai Royal-musee du Louvre I would suggest starting by the garden entrance to have a global view of how big and beautiful the entire property is. From there, the view is literally breath taking, even though to imagine what it was like when kings were living there, you have to ignore the glass pyramids that were put up by President Francois Miterrand . When you are ready to go into the museum, you can go inside by entring the bigger glass pyramid, which is pretty interesting and sets the Louvre apart even more. I f you only plan to go once, you will probably have to choose what you really want to see. The museum is so big that you can't really see everything in one day, so unless you plan on coming back another day, you will need to skip some exhibitions. In the Louvre, you have exhibitions about almost every part of the world and from every major prehistorical and historical period, so whatever it is that you are interested in, you will find an interesting exhibition. I personally enjoyed the Egyptian, Greek and Roman section (artifacts, relics, sculptures...), and of course the entire European painting galleries are incredible. My best memories are the Venus of Milo and the Mona Lisa. After you are are done visiting,the Seine (river in the middle of Paris) is just a short walk away, it might be nice to walk there and walk alongside the water, see the bridges (the lighting is beautiful at night)...
