Le Louvre proved all I had told the students over the years, the largest museum in the world, the largest collection in the world, kilometers of galleries upon galleries, airy, made for walking and filling one's eyes with marvels from Babylone, Egypt, Greece and Rome, to Italian Renaissance and so much more we had no time to explore. We did the tourist circuit from la Victoire de Samothrace to la Joconde (Mona Lisa's French name), not forgetting la Vénus de Milo! We lingered in the Greek and Roman galleries, then through the Italian painting section, overwhelmed and admiring.
One of the highlights was La Poste! Yes, there is a post office in the museum, where we inquired in French about stamps for postcards and used the atm machine.
