Great Guided Activity

You can get lost in the Louvre, which is great if you have 2 days to burn trying to see everything you wanted to see. We were able to do it in a few hours with a guide. Next time I'm in Paris, though, I'll likely book off two days to get lost and see as much as possible. I'm glad I did this, though, so I could see the pieces everyone expects to see when wandering the Louvre.
