      Hey I have been blocked by les frenchies for no reason at all. Dont even know what I have done wrong? Tried to post a message to resell tickets for Roland Garros. Can someone of the administrators help? If it isnt allowed to post tickets, oke. But let me know instead of just blocking me

    It says something to me that you reside in Paris and can visit Le Louvre multiple times, yet you hire a tour guide for this visit! I take that as a lesson! Thank you!

    I went to the Louvre with my cousin last August and we saw pretty much everything covered in this video starting with the original foundation and moat. When I saw the Mona Lisa, I was like '😐.' Then I turned around and saw the Wedding Feast at Cana and I was like '😲.'

    I loved Le Louvre. It was amazing to be here and to see all the things I've only seen in textbooks, on TV or the internet. I've always loved Ancient Egypt and the artifacts on display were incredible. We spent 3 hours with our 17 year old son and had a great time. The museum itself is so beautiful-don't forget to look up ❤️

    We were in Paris a couple of weeks ago. I can’t thank you enough for mentioning the different entrances. Our tickets stated we could enter in the main entrance or the Carrousel. The main entrance line was so long, but using the Carrousel entrance we had no wait at all. That tip saved us so much time!

  • @rpatrick2
    @rpatrick2 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    One of the best decisions I made was getting the "Amis De Louvre" membership. You get to use the group entrance, so you are in the galleries at 9:02 and I was able to get 10-15 minutes alone looking at the Venus De Milo. It's 80 Euro. It also gets you around the timed ticket requirements. I went 8 times in 2 weeks, and did not see everything. If you are planning on going 2x the time saved in line plus the costs breaks even. The gallery closures that are scheduled throughout the week are important if there is a specific work, or subject area you want to spend time in. They were moving sculpture the second week I was there, and there is a spectacular piece I was too intimidated to try and sketch and then when I went back twice the gallery was closed.

    The painting by Delacroix that decorates the ceiling of that room is entitled "Apollo Killing the Python" and it was celebrated by many as worthy of Rubens whom Delacroix admired and imitated in his use of bright, warm colours.

    The man who stole the Mona Lisa was an Italian called Vincenzo Peruggia (1881-1925), an amateur painter who worked at the Louvre. On the 21st of August 1911, he took the painting out of its frame and, putting it under his uniform, a large white blouse, walked out of the building. Two years later he tried to sell it to the director of the Uffizi Museum in Florence. The director went to see him with two policemen who arrested Peruggia. The thief did not resist and said he just wanted to return the painting to Italy where it belonged. He served 7 months in prison and died twelve years later of a heart attack.

    This video did not disappoint! So informative, and of course the art and artifacts were amazing. When I was a kid I saw the Mona Lisa at the Met in NYC. I remember thinking how small the Mona Lisa was and wondering why the adults were clamoring to see her! Kind of agree with Antoine! When I saw the painting of Liberté it made me think of the Statue of Liberty....just a thought!

    Colleen and Antoine, you really outdid yourselves with this video. I have lived in Paris for years, and I learned a lot from this. As a child I remember the entrance to this enormous museum was a little door to the south-west of the pyramid. I have never used a guide in Paris anywhere because my father was a historian who gave us the low-down on everything. But Whalid is fantastic and I would love to have him as a guide. When people tell me they want to go to the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa, I try to dissuade them. I don't think it is worth the trouble. I haven't seen it since the early 70's before it was put behind glass. There are so many other fantastic things to see there. My personal top favorites are the Coronation of Napoleon, Liberty Leading the People, and the Victory of Samothrace. That is a tall order because there are so many other things which I absolutely love there as well. There has been talk in France of rebuilding the Tuileries Palace in order to display more of the Louvre's collections. In spite of it's enormous size, they have so much in storage.

    • @LesFrenchiesTravel

    Once again, this is such a fabulous video and shows the value of spending money to save time and sanity (our mantra)! Also, book tickets in advance if not using a guide. We know people who waited over 3 hours just to get a ticket. For anyone who feels overwhelmed, a guide is such a great idea.
    When we took our kids (10-14 at the time), I had them make a list of anything they wanted to see and they all cheekily said "the Garbage Pail Kid" aka, Mona Lisa. We entered the Louvre just as they opened with our prebooked tickets and made a beeline for her with a large group of other people. We then looped back just a bit to see a couple paintings I wanted to see, a couple sculptures, statues, and when we saw the last one, we had only been in the museum for 30 minutes. We walked more - we let our kids lead the way - and got food, probably at the museum for 4-5 hours total, but it was a really great experience.

    Really love your channel and found it helpful for my Paris trip last week. Although I didn’t have this video, I covered most of the same things in this video. I like how you put the room and location in this video. One step further would having a mini map showing the exact location. Although who knows how much it would help as I’d probably still get lost in there like I did last week. I consider myself a good navigator too.

    Going to a big gallery like this is something that is impossible to absorb. You hit a point where you become “all arted out” well, I do…I spent several hours at the NY Met Museum, and left feeling that i had barely scratched the surface there. Most of the art Museums in Australia are smaller, you can see most of what is on display in a morning or afternoon, and… you rarely experience crazy crowding
    I always knew that the crowds were huge but I hadn’t seen just how crazy. Note to self, plan your Louvre visit for winter!

    Excellent video! You have given me confidence to return. My last few trips to Paris (I go for two months, every March-April) I deliberately avoided the Louvre because of the crowds and chaos. With some 200 museums in Paris, I decided to focus on all the other ones - and returning to my favorites. Now I think I’m ready to tackle the Louvre again - perhaps hiring a guide. So, thank you. Btw I’m sure you have mentioned this in the past videos, but one of my favorite cafés, Café Marly, is hidden behind pillars near the Louvre Pyramid. Great people-watching. I learned about it from a French friend. It’s one of her favorite places to meet!

    We toured the Louvre in 2.5 hours on our honeymoon circa 1975. Didn’t have the street and underground hustlers to deal with back then.

    After visiting the Louvre 2 weeks ago I understand why people get lost. There are room numbers on the map but I haven’t seen a lot of them in the rooms themselves. I think they should really improve that. Fortunately all elevators are lettered so that sometimes helped with my orientation.

    FanTAStic video!!! Very helpful, interesting from beginning to end and I would like to visit. Don’t really care about the Mona Lisa but, there is a very large battle scene across the room or around the corner that I have seen images of that I would like to see closer. Vibrant reds and whites and city walls and it looks very realistic. Not blood and guts, though there were probably red splotches. I don’t remember the details but do remember the size, the realism, the depth and the detail. Skills far superior to mine, I believe, but I would like to see. I remembered it during your tour.
    Thank you.

    Felt like I walked through the same room 10x trying to figure out if I missed something. Being able to cross off rooms on a paper map would be nice.

    Thank you so much, the Louvre is on our list as a full day tour. Can you tell me are you able to leave the Louvre to get lunch, at one of the many bistros you had in another video I watched , and go back n without having to pay again?

    • @LesFrenchiesTravel
      @LesFrenchiesTravel  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No. Once you leave your ticket is complete. There is a restaurant inside the museum. And there is a good court in the exit area if you stay line and want a quick bite after. But you would need a new ticket to get back in.

    My husband and I are coming to Roland Garros and we will be in Paris on the first Sunday of June, I read somewhere that entry to the Louvre is free on the first Sunday of the month, is that true?

    • @christopheb.6121
      @christopheb.6121 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Not all the musées are free the first Sunday of each month, only some of them. For example, It is the case in Paris for le musée d'Art moderne, le Centre Pompidou et le musée d'Orsay.

    An interesting point about the Mona Lisa being so popular because it was stolen. Would the same apply to Vermeer's The Concert if it's ever recovered, I wonder?

    What time, day did you go ? Except for Mona Lisa it didn’t look crowded. When I went in 1970 there was no crowd at Mona Lisa

      If it's any help, we went to the Denon wing first and it wasn't too bad, had lunch, then explored the Richelieu wing after and it was pretty empty. I think more people hang around Winged Victory and Mona Lisa which is fine because where we were was pretty peaceful!

    Lovely! When we visited the Assyrian section was being refurbished. How could you forget to mention that one wing was occupied by the Ministry of Finances, which had to be physically evicted, even before the atrocious pyramid was built?😂 How could you skip the Rubens series?

      The Ruben room is closed at the moment, like the apartments of Napoleon III. They said they will reopen both for the Olympics, but we are still waiting. Walid

    I took my kids and they hated it so we were in and out in less than 2 hours. If anyone wants to borrow them for their trip let me know; guaranteed to make you want to leave within 1 to 2 hours of constant complaining....

    • @sarah-phillips
      @sarah-phillips 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I'm so sorry that was your experience. I truly hope you can make it back! And here's hoping as they get older, your kids will look back and appreciate that you took them. I have one kid who is definitely NOT a museum person but she looks back even a couple years later and her opinion is "yeah, it was pretty cool, I guess." I'll take it.

    • @jiepper

    • @LesFrenchiesTravel
      @LesFrenchiesTravel  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      The trick to seeing the Louvre with kids is to build their interest (the fort, the mummies, etc). Another trick is to hire three guides that do scavenger hints for kids and families. We've talked with quite a few families that really enjoyed it.

      Lol not for nothing, but if I were a kid, I'd hate it too except for the pyramid part. Museum of natural history would have been and still is more my thing.
