Kick off the day on the Right Bank with a visit to the world famous Louvre Museum. We hope you’ve a lot of stamina: it’s the largest museum in the world, it holds some 360,000 artifacts and if you were to spend a reasonable time viewing every item on show to the public it has been estimated it would take at least two months to see them. The building started out as a fortress in the 12th century, then it became a palace and it was Napoleon himself who converted it into a museum, filling it with plunder from his Empire. In 1989 it had added its famous glass pyramid at the entrance designed by I.M. Pei and its modern style caused huge controversy at the time. There are three main wings – Sully (around the Cour Carrée), Richelieu (the north wing) and Denon (the south wing). Most people visit to see the Three Ladies of the Mediterranean, namely the Mona Lisa (La Gioconda) painted by Leonardo da Vinci around 1505, the Venus de Milo statue by Alexandros of Antioch around 140 B.C. and the Winged Victory of Samothrace created around 190 B.C. On some days there are guided tours in English taking about 90 minutes but they do cost extra. Metro: Palais Royal Musée du Louvre
Lunchtime? Head for a local café nearby but be warned – you are now in the beating heart of tourist Paris so it will probably be pricey so just take your time, enjoy what you’re having, sit back and people-watch.
Time for an afternoon stroll. As you’re probably still near the Louvre you could head west towards the famous Place de la Concorde. It is the largest public square in Paris and bustles with traffic day and night. However just over two centuries ago this was the site for public executions by guillotine during the French Revolution. Among the more than 1,100 people to get the chop here were such notables as King Louis XVI himself, his wife Queen Marie Antoinette and French revolutionaries Georges Danton & Maximilien Robespierre. Continue west out of this square onto the Champs Elysées – arguably the main thoroughfare of the city. It’s on this avenue that the Tour de France finishes its triumphant loop of France on a late Sunday afternoon in July. Continue up to the Place Charles de Gaulle containing the gigantic Arc de Triomphe built by Napoleon in celebration of his military victories and still used today to mark important national occasions. Marvel at the 12 avenues leading from it, at the noise and chaos of the traffic and at how there are not more traffic accidents around it! Metro: Charles de Gaulle – Étoile
