We visited the capital of France in April. The best time to get acquainted with this beautiful city, I consider the spring and beginning of autumn.
At this time, not such a big influx of tourists, and it is possible to visit all the most interesting and significant attractions of the city.
Most of all the impression of the Louvre. The excursion to this French museum was acquired by us in the Russian-speaking tour agency in Paris. But, you can visit the Louvre and quite independently by purchasing an entrance ticket, directly, at the museum office, the cost of the entrance is 10 euros.
Louvre is perhaps the most famous Museum of Paris and is a real visiting card of the city. The museum tour is very interesting and informative. I recommend to visit this excursion with the guide (the cost of 30 euros). The fact is that the museum is really huge and to visit all his halls just do not have enough one day, besides, before entering the museum, there is always a large line of tourists. The guide can carry out its group without a queue, and leads tourists along a well-planned route, so for just a few hours we were able to see the most interesting and famous canvases, and sculptures. During the excursion, you should not lose vigilance, the fact is that there are several organized gangs of pockets in the museums, which are always ready to beat the visiting tourist. Photo and video filming in museums are allowed, so I strongly advise you to capture cameras and camera.
Excursion is designed for adult tourists and families with children is hardly suitable. The greatest impression on us made pictures - "Coronation of Napoleon" and, of course, "Mona Lisa". The guide told many fascinating stories about the history of the creation of these works of art, the fate of their authors. The excursion program lasts about 2.5-3 hours, for the first acquaintance with the museum of this time is quite enough. The only disadvantage of this program is that in the museums of tourists' traffic, and in order to admire some exhibits you need to wait a little while the previous group of tourists go out, but it is the little things, as they say - a matter of life) A, the museum itself is simply great!
