The Louvre

So I have a confession to make... I am no longer in Paris. I have left the capital city for the sunny south where i'm enjoying time with my family. My last few days in Paris I didn't have internet so I have a couple of belated posts before I move on to sharing my fun in the sun with you all.

My sister and I went to the Louvre in Paris to see the Mona Lisa, one of those things that just has to be done. I have to say I wasn't hugely impressed with it, but maybe that was because it was so busy I could barely get anywhere near it to have a proper look and to actually appreciate the art. The whole museum was so busy with tourists it was difficult to see anything properly. Maybe on a quieter day or off-peak from tourist season one can better appreciate such old and famous works of art.

Whilst outside the Louvre we spotted this man, who I have aptly name the pied piper of birds, due to the fact that the birds literally followed him wherever he went. He's not the first person I saw in Paris who seemed in control of the pigeons, maybe I am missing something...
