Jared Guy, 10 November 2025

The Louvre was incredible, as expected! We got to see the Venus de Milo, Winged Victory, and the Monna Lisa and the Wedding Feast- absolute highlights! Louis XIV’s golden room is still closed after the jewel theft. Our guide was very knowledgable, and gave us a lot of great information about the French history, which was great. Would have liked a lot less pausing and talking, and a lot more art. We paused excessively to talk about pictures of the crown jewels and french politics, to the point i had to walk away from the group to examine the paintings. We were shown very, very little actual art outside of the three great ladies of the Louvre, for a tour hour tour. Overall, would recommend- very impressed with the Louvre, but i would have liked to move faster and see a few more rooms.
