An afternoon at the Louvre

The famous glass pyramids. Designed by I.M. Pei.
Winged Victory

Venus de Milo


Mona Lisa (smile!)
It is behind glass, so it was tricky to get a picture without a glare.

The day in Paris concluded with a whirlwind trip to the Louvre. The glass pyramids are so beautiful! It was incredibly crowded, but our tour guide got us in quickly and navigated us directly to the most famous pieces. Winged Victory, Venus de Milo, and, of course, the Mona Lisa. It was amazing! To stand and see some of the most beautiful pieces of artwork is awe-inspiring. This is definitely on the agenda for next time. As our lovely tour guide, Charlotte says, "Next time, you spend zee week in Paree and only one day in London!"
It was a wonderful week in two of the most beautiful cities in the world. We were blessed with traveling mercies the whole way and are grateful for such an amazing honeymoon experience. We are already talking about heading back over soon! These are just a few of the hundreds of pictures we took. We can't wait to catch up with all of you!
