8/10/2016 0 Comments Musee du LouvreToday, on our last day in Paris, we visited the Louvre. It is the world's largest museum and one of the most overwhelming places I've ever been. There is so much to see, so many crowds, and so much ground to cover. Still, it was unbelievable to witness one of the greatest collections of art and history. The museum itself was originally built as a fortress under Philip II. In the 15th century, it was transformed into a palace and the primary residence of French kings, the first being Francis I. After the French Revolution, the palace was made into a museum. The museum did remain a residence for Napoleon III years after, who's extravagant apartment is now part of the exhibit. After the museum, we grabbed something to eat and then checked off one of my biggest bucket list items for Paris: visiting a jazz club. We decided to go to Chez Papa Jazz Club simply because it was the first one stumbled upon. We got lucky. Great vibes and great music, perhaps my favorite night in Paris.
