Musée du Louvre

Pros: It's hard to write about all there is to see in this most incredible museum
Cons: I'm not there now... Can be crowded during peak times and dates

What can be said about The Louvre that hasn't been said before? That's the question I've pondered while thinking of writing this review and one of the reasons I've waited this long to attempt it. I've been fortunate to have had the pleasure and ...

Pros: It's the Louvre! Mona Lisa, Venus De Milo, everything is fabulous!
Cons: The restaurant

The day we went to the Louvre, the museum workers were on strike, so we did not have to purchase tickets, and the lines were moving at warp speed. The most unusual thing about it was all the people using flash photography in there, even at the Mona Lisa, ...

Pros: Beautiful works of art, looks modern, FREE Public Toilets
Cons: All the darn placards are in FRENCH!!!!

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, has heard about the Louvre at some point. The most famous in the world, it hosts several of the worlds most famous paintings and sculptures (The Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and Winged Victory come to mind here). All of the ...

Pros: You won't find a more perfect collection...
Cons: ...crowds, but they're manageable.

You should think of the Musee du Louvre like a big fifteen course gourmet French meal. If you try to gobble up everything on offer in a couple of hours you'll end up with indigestion. The Louvre, quite simply, is perhaps the world's finest museum. It ...

Pros: MAYBE useful for the timid, several lesser museums or in high season.
Cons: Largely unnecessary and a poor value.

Contrary to several reviewers' opinions, my fiancee and I found the Paris Museum Pass unnecessary and a waste of money, particularly the one-day version. Planning to visit Paris for 3 days in May, 2003, we became nervous from some reviewers' remarks ...

Pros: Price, variety, stunning location
Cons: Very crowded during peak season

I visited the Louvre in May 2003, and I absolutely loved it. It was my first time in Paris, and the Louvre was definitely the highlight. The building began life as a medieval fortress, then became a palace for the kings of France, and finally ...

Pros: great masterpieces of art, beautiful historic setting
Cons: can be crowded, way too much to see, can be navigationally complicated

Let's get one thing straight: the Musée du Louvre is immense. I don't care if you're the Six Million Dollar Man racing from masterpiece to masterpiece. You're not going to see everything in one day. What you can do is make the most of the time you ...

Pros: Great for wheelchairs
Cons: Layout rather confusing

I took my mother to the Louvre with a wheelchair, and was amazed at how accessible it was. The first bonus is that it is FREE for the person in the wheelchair and the person pushing it. We then had to wait for the lift to arrive to take us downstairs - a...

Pros: One of the world’s largest and best-known museums of fine art.
Cons: So much to see so little time

The Louvre Museum is one of the world's largest (more than 75,000 paintings) and best-known museums of fine art. The overall excellence of the collection, the quantity of works on display, and the abundance of recognizable masterpieces make the Louvre...

Pros: It is great, beautiful, unforgettable.
Cons: It is very big, there are a lot of halls.

Louver, is situate at the King's Palace. After opening of the new halls it became the biggest one. There are nearly 25000 masterpieces of arts. Louver is consists from three parts, as "Ï". Each part has four levels. There are eight departments: Ancient...

Pros: One of a kind contents, gorgeous building
Cons: crowds

The Louvre simply holds too many amazing things. There is not enough time in a week, let alone in a day to absorb all that the Louvre has to offer.

With four huge "wings" of the museum, there really is no way to see the amazing history and...

Pros: world class collection
Cons: almost too much to see

I visited the Louvre on a Sunday morning in January and adored it. I definitely recommend planning your visit for a Sunday morning because the admission is half price on Sundays (or was when I was there) and crowds are typically less. For example, I...

Pros: just incredible
Cons: descriptions are all in French, long lines if you don't get a museum pass

My husband and I visited the Louvre in November 1999. It was one of those places I have always wanted to go, and I was so excited to be there. It was well worth it.

Secret trick for not waiting in line!

Pros: Remarkable, Historical
Cons: Kids could be bored
