On our third day, we decided to visit the world's largest museum in the world, Musée du Louvre. This is not just an ordinary museum. The glass pyramid is also one of the famous landmarks in Paris.
There were so many people there. I had never visited a museum that crowded before. Students under 26 have free entrance fee to all museums in France. So, I gave it a try. I couldn't believe I could enter Louvre with 0€.
The proof:
It is amazing. I think I will revisit this museum if I have the chance to go to Paris again. I mean, look at all those art works!
And finally, there we were. That is why everyone is so crazy about Louvre, Da Vinci's Monalisa. Everyone tries so hard to get a picture of this painting.
And then, the Venus de Milo.
And many other stuffs from various continents.
We spent like 5 hours in the museum. Seriously. It is huge! And we continued our journey to Montmartre to see the Sacré-Coeur. I can say Montmartre is my favorite place ever in Paris. From Sacré-Coeur you can see the whole Paris. And it is very gorgeous. Montmartre is also a place for artists. Unfortunately I was there in winter so I couldn't find many artists in the street. If you want to buy souvenirs, buy them in Montmartre. The price is lower than in Champs-Ellysées. And, bargain! They don't have fixed price.
We wanted to go to Pigalle actually to see Moulin Rouge. But my friends were all so exhausted after 3-day sightseeing. And we didn't get there.
Day 4
My host and I went to visit Versailles. It's quite far from Paris. And we were disappointed! Versailles is closed on Mondays. So, do not go there on Monday!
And finally, we went to St. Michel to have lunch and we found these artists in front of Notre Dame.
Then, I went back home to Saarbrücken. I had a wonderful time in Paris for sure.
Thanks to Gerry Prayogo and Yana Jurnatan for some of the pictures.
