Tonight we chose to experience the Louvre during the extended hours, hoping for a smaller crowd. Mazie was so excited to see the glass pyramid.

It was a fast paced experience for us. We saw the Mona Lisa. Two of us waited to get a front row standing photo op. The other 2 were ready to find a corner and wait.

We strolled through the French Painting Hallway over and over trying to exit and find landscape paintings.  Freedom guiding the people AKA Liberty Leading the People 1830, depicting the citizens as noble, beautiful and great. This painting has inspired the Statue of Liberty, Les Misérbales, ColdPlay’s Album cover.

The sun was setting, displaying a beautiful array of colors. The King’s crown and the sunset share a similar color pallet.

We decided to speed walk to the Egyptian wing however we arrived too late to enter. Mazie did get some photos of things we sped past before taking the escalator outside.
