Day 6- Louvre Museum Tour

Off to see Mona Lisa today!  The Museum was enormous! We went in through a pyramid made of glass. We were glad we had ordered our tickets ahead of time because the lines were very long. Once we got into the museum, we split up. I went with my friends and cousins and we wanted to go straight to the Mona Lisa. She was made by Leonardo da Vinci. We had read about her in many books and magazine articles including a Geronimo Stilton book. We quickly realized there was no way we would be able to see everything in one day. There were almost 500,000 pieces of art! We could tell they were worth a lot of money because there were guards everywhere. We stayed for the whole day. When we left, the sun had gone down and the Louvre was all lit up. It looked so beautiful. We are certainly falling in love with Paris and France.
