LE LOUVRE IN UNDER AN HOUR

The first time I went to the Louvre, I was with my husband. We got there at opening and stayed until closing. We saw the highlights then split up. He followed a Rick Steves guidebook, and I walked every room and tried to look at every wall and every painting and every ceiling. 
So when we returned to Paris with my daughter, we wanted to show her a few prime items but we knew that we wouldn't have a lot of time to keep her interested. 
We entered at the pyramid main entrance, with the previously purchased Paris Museum Pass at the Tobacco shop across from Sainte-Chapelle. We walked directly to the Denon Pavillon up to the first floor. We pressed towards the front of a well marked room off to the left from the main Italian Paintings hallway to show our daughter the most visited piece of art in the world, known to many as the Mona Lisa, or La Gioconda. It helps to be a kid to get to the front of the line! Here is the view of Leonardo's alleged favourite painting and the crowd in low season to see her!

La Gioconda

Paparazzi and one photographer against the stream


Love this view of the horse gate in the Denon wing ground floor

Rick Steve's biggest fan!

John the Baptist, italian style

The Virgin of the Rocks as mentioned in the Da Vinci Code

Napoleon's apartments 

Conversation, anyone?

I would love this tiara!

The last thing I saw before my daughter dragged me out of Cour Marly on the Richelieu side.
