I really enjoyed the garden there - we spent hours happily. And we don't have a lot of palaces where I'm from.
And I didn't really enjoy the Louvre, especially compared to Musée d'Orsay and Centre Pompidou.
- karmakurtisaani 11mo agoLouvre get sort of boring, since the time period they cover stops at the time when art gets more and more interesting (mid 1800s). Before that every painting is basically Jesus or boobs. Still well worth a visit definitely.
- orwin 11mo agoBut then you have all the Egyptian wing no?
- karmakurtisaani 11mo agoYep, lots of stuff from different periods until the 1800s. Interesting, but surprisingly kind of repetitive.
- troupo 11mo agoThis year they made a brilliant thing: they put haute couture one-off fashion items on display throughout the royal wing. Who knew Loubutin and Alexander MacQueen shoes or Dior and Gucci handbags would feel so absolutely natural among the dresses and tapestries and jewellery :)
