Will you wanna go to the Louvre in Paris?

The trick to go there without crazy crowds is in the evening. I went to Europe with a tour guide and he said let’s skip the Louvre and I was very disappointed the next time I wanna go Paris again because I haven’t seen anything in The Louvre. I felt like telling the tour guide on my next trip to let us visit the Louvre in the evening so we don’t have to deal with the crazy crowds and we can enjoy looking at those beautiful arts. I loved art, when I was young I found museums boring but when I went to those good museums with those beautiful arts I started to love going to the museums. I usually go to museums in my own country

I only want to go to the Louvre (and by default, Paris) because King Charlemagne's
sword is there, who was one of my ancestors. I've known all my life that King Charlemagne is one of my ancestors, but just recently I found out that not only does his sword "Joyeuse" still exist, but it's on display at the Louvre! Maybe one day I'll go and see it.

Fun fact: the kings and queens in a deck of cards represent real kings and queens in history, and the king of hearts is King Charlemagne. 😊

I gotta see that sword next time when I go to the Louvre

Take pictures and lean a king of hearts against the case for me. 😋

I enjoyed the Louvre. My favorite museums though are the Hermitage in St Petersburg and the Glyptotek in Copenhagen. In Paris, the locals like Musee d’Orsay.

I last went to Paris and the Louvre back in February 2019, even had lunch there. Didn't really have to wait. Sure it was packed but not as 'full' I suppose being in the winter time. I would always tell people you should allocate a lot of time if you really want to explore the place in-and-out since it's huge. During summer season the later in the day you can go the better of course. I just remember planning the trip early on to try to hit the off-peak days.

I did a little research about when is the best time to visit Paris. They said for January, February and March are the quietest months. But then I remembered I went there during March it’s still crowded maybe many tourists like to go to Paris no matter which month. I hope when I go to the Louvre during March in the evening i will be able to see arts for maybe 2 hours

Like it’s still kinda crowded when I went with a tour guide during that time when tourists are much lesser

Winter holiday is very real, it's probably just 25% less than summer. I've been to Paris both seasons and it surely is noticeable since kids are not in school thing. I'd try to block an afternoon until evening. Thankfully i seen the whole thing once and I just go to see what's new, along with the shops.

Been there, definitely would’ve like more time to explore

Visiting France is not on either my wish list or my bucket list except for Cap D'Agde.
