Originally a medieval fortress, the Louvre Museum houses over 35,000 works of art, including masterpieces like the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. Its iconic Glass Pyramid, designed by I.M. Pei, serves as a dramatic main entrance. Spread across multiple wings, the museum’s collection spans ancient civilizations, European paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts. Audio guides and guided tours highlight key artworks and offer fascinating insights. Buying tickets online helps skip long lines, and planning for at least half a day is recommended to admire the abundant exhibits. Situated by the Seine, it is easily accessible via Metro and surrounded by charming cafés for a post-visit break.
