The Louvre

Today we were off to the Louvre. Before we let the girls explore the museum on their own we gave three “must sees”: DaVinci’s Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory of Samothrace and the Venus de Milo.

The museum is overwhelming and you could stay for days and still NOT see everything. The girls appreciated the visit and in addition to the “must sees”, found works of art that were deemed as their favorites.

There was no evening activity planned so the girls were on their own for the evening. Sisi, Tabitha, Elsa and Stephanie made their way back to FIAP and enjoyed dessert around the neighborhood. Gayle, Marielou and Alex shopped the Rue de Rivoli and went back to Montmartre for more shopping. Arianne, Aymee, Allie, Zoe, Dani and Gaby headed to the Latin Quarter and Anabelle and Andrea joined me at the Champs Elysees. We ate the most amazing and world famous macaroons at Laduree – which has been in Paris since 1862.

Tomorrow we’re off to Orsay and L’Opera for a ballet.
