Louvre

In search of Mona Lisa, along with the rest of the World. We beat the crowds at the entry portal.

But not at the viewing point. When I was last here in the 1990's Mona was in one of the long halls and you could get up close and personal. Not any more!

Amazing to see so many of the famous paintings usually seen in books, which never give an idea of real size. Having a moment with Napoleon.

Unfortunately no dinner invitation from Napoleon lll, but we visited his apartments anyway.
