    What a wonderful experience. To some it may be a cliché, but it was very nice to see them Mona Lisa, and to experience the Louve. My family and I had a great time. We had a guide, so we learned a lot of facts about the Louve. Our tour was a couple hours long and in that amount of time we was able to see all the important paintings. Make sure you arrive early to avoid long lines.

    Going to the Louvre Museum is the most amazing experience! But it is overwhelming with the size of the museum and the amount of art and sculptures to see. With that being said the one thing we did definitely want to see were the pyramids. They are amazing inside and out. The architecture is simply amazing. This was definitely a highlight of the visit

    the pyramid so iconic it's a lovely spot to chill before going in the museum. nice to take photos

    The largest piece at Louvre and in the same room as the Mona Lisa. Must visit

    Must visit. One of the few places your time slot matter. The largest piece at Louvre and in the same room as the Mona Lisa is " the Wedding Feast at Cana" Jesus' first miracle, turning water into wine at he wedding

    The pyramid at the Louvre was designed by famed Chinese-American architect I. M. Pei and completed in 1988. It was controversial as the design and appearance did not fit the classic French Renaissance style of the Louvre. Now it's a widely recognized icon and it serves as the main entrance to the Louvre.

    The Louvre is one of the world's largest and most iconic museums, and its vast art collection is spectacular. Located in the heart of Paris, France, along the banks of the Seine River, this magnificent campus was once a royal palace. It's lovely, for sure! But is the time commitment and logistical hassle of seeing the Louvre worth it? Like any decision, it depends upon many factors, including your family's interests. You also need to consider your travel schedule, when you are visiting, and your willingness to endure a little stress in order to lock eyes with the Mona Lisa. I believe it's worth it. The architecture, culture, attention to details, artifacts, fossils, paintings and history is something you can't pass up. Be sure to go early or on the later side because it gets really really busy. There's so much to see other than paintings. So take your time.

    The coolest Pyramid around! (except for Egypt lol) The pyramid is beautiful! And it is huge. The architecture is just awesome to see. It is so pretty. Seeing the pyramid from the ground is cool, and it is also great to see it underneath the pyramid when you are inside. This structure was one of my favorites, aside from the L'Arc du Triomphe. The pyramid was my second favorite structural piece. You can see it right outside the Louvre. It is a masterpiece. Once you go underneath, where the entrance to the Louvre is, you can see the inside of the pyramid. It lets in lots of light and it sparkles in the reflection of the sun. Very pretty! It is a must see. I'm not sure if I liked seeing it from the outside more. Seeing it from the inside and looking up really made it look spectacular.

    Despite being to Paris, and more so the Louvre, the pyramid really didn't catch my attention until my latest trip. My first time at the Louvre all I could focus on was actually going in. Now that I had my second time there, the pyramid was much more interesting to me. For one thing, the Louvre was having issues selling tickets online, so you had to go through the pyramid to purchase tickets. For another, this landmark is huge and made of glass and metal. When you're trying to kill time or are just waiting to enter, believe me you notice it. That and it was during winter, so there were less people. At any rate, this pyramid is a beauty and I, of course, got my photo with it.

    Loved the Louvre during the day and lit up at night. Took obligatory Louvre photos on the pillar blocks. Such a beautiful area to explore.

    Louvre is a beautiful place filled with artwork and collections from many different types of painters, sculptures, and much more to see if you are visiting here. This is one of the most iconic places that people all over the world would visit! This is my second time ever coming here and it still takes my breath away while I am walking all around the museum. Yes the line to get in is insane and they do make every single person go through security, so don't bring anything inside that could make you not get in! I would suggest coming here and spending a day walking around. I would say pick an early time slot but know you'll be having to wait a while to get in. Buy your tickets online and don't wait until you get there because they do sell out!

    The pyramid is definitely a MUST see when visiting Paris! Be aware that the area gets extremely crowded so I'd recommend heading out early. When we visited there was security check points coupled with the line to get in for tour times made it a bit frustrating. But overall just being in Paris and experiencing the Pyramide du Louvre was AMAZING. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience that you always dream of visiting. We spent hours here. And once inside there is also a mall and food court area. You can also get to the transit station.

    Icon for the Paris other than Eiffel Tower. This is one of the most photograph area. More importantly the pyramid is not jut the out side only, the museum below ground has an upside down pyramid. It touch a small concrete pyramid below. The person who created the pyramid is a Chinese American who designed this pyramid. If you saw this, you know it is Louvre museum. It is a city symbol. The pyramid lighted at night provide a good night view. The translucent glass also provided the sun light shine to the ground of inside museum.

Walking up through Montmartre is good exercise in its own right, with the staircases near the top providing a wonderfully direct final approach as the white basilica rises above you. The surrounding neighborhood is beyond charming, and reaching the summit feels like a fitting culmination of exploring one of the city's most distinctive quarters. Once there, the sweeping view across Paris is spectacular, particularly from the broad steps beneath the basilica. The Romano-Byzantine architecture is striking up close, while the enormous gold mosaic inside gives you another reason to step away from the panorama and enter the church.

If I have, it was well over a decade ago, and I have seen many churches in the intervening years. What I do know is that I've stood outside it several times, to admire the church as well as the iconic view of Paris from its front steps. We had intended to go inside the basilica on our recent family visit, but we had a sick child and the line was long and exposed to the sun. There were a ton of people up there, as dense a crowd as we saw all trip, everyone trying to enjoy the same viewpoint. Luckily, there was plenty of that to go around. We spent some time admiring the city and taking pictures (my father-in-law's one souvenir was that we send him a family photo from Sacré-Coeur), then wound our way downhill through charming Montmartre. Maybe next time I'll venture into the church, but it's worth going just to walk around outside.

To get into the Eiffel Tower and to access the tower itself (on top/under) you will need to go through security screening. Security screening included an x ray of bags and walking through a metal detector. To go under the Eiffel Tower, there was no cost. Once you were under the Eiffel Tower there were stands to purchase treats which included croissants, coffee, and snacks. To go on top of the Eiffel Tower, you had to pay money. We purchased tickets to use the lift to very top which included the second floor and top floor for approximately €37. On the second floor, there was a panoramic view of the city along with gift shops, restaurants, and tapas options. We personally selected Madame Brasserie (one of two high end restaurants). On the top floor, you got a 360 view of the city along with Eiffel's apartment. The top had options to purchase champagne, macarons, or other treats. It was crowded, however, everyone wanted to notice and embrace the beauty of the city. There was also an announcement sharing to be aware of pick pockets, but if you were aware of your surroundings, it was not an issue (just like everywhere, remain diligent and aware). Our experience was beautiful and I can't wait to return.

Getting the tickets was a genuine headache, but the on-the-ground experience was not just magical but surprisingly easy. The online ticketing system leaves much to be desired. I wanted to buy eleven elevator tickets, for eight adults and three children, but was only able to check out with nine. I tried to get the last two in a second transaction but got locked out. Apparently, you can't book that many tickets under a single account, something I wish I'd known before I spent all that money on the nine. I emailed the customer service address and while they responded, they were spectacularly unhelpful. I then tasked my husband, my mother, and my brother with buying the last two tickets from different devices, and I don't understand why, but none of them were able to get through. The site was also annoying in that we had to make all of our selections and input credit card information before getting frozen out without explanation. My parents decided they didn't need to go up the tower anyway, as they'd been pretty recently, and that's how the issue resolved. I guess we could've gotten them tickets day of, but no one had the will for it, so the rest of us just went up while they hung out in the park at the base of the tower. My branch of the family was running late for our 4:00 entry and had a fairly stressful time making that long jaunt from the Trocadero to the tower. There was some security to get into the park, but it went quickly, and once we were in, we found the entrance for ticket holders right away. To my amazement, there was no line, and we were riding a diagonal elevator up the tower about as soon as we arrived. I love the Eiffel Tower and loved visiting with my children, who were awed by both the iconic structure and the marvelous views. It's great to admire from afar, but well worth a dedicated excursion. I look forward to going back whenever I'm back in Paris.

We'd had grand plans to go see Notre-Dame and the Louvre and spend time at the Tuileries, but we threw that all out and settled on one easy outing: a quick trip on the Metro to see the Palais-Royal. The Palais-Royal isn't a royal palace in the same way as, say, Versailles. It's much smaller, built for Cardinal Richelieu in the 1630s, and you can't go in and gawk at all the bedrooms, as the buildings are currently in use by the French government. Instead, you can hang out in the courtyard, which serves as a park. (There are some shops and restaurants and I'm sure you can go in the buildings, but the courtyard seems to be the most salient public-facing part.) The Palais is in the middle of Paris, right next to the Louvre. We took Line 1 for one stop to get there, and that ended up being a highlight of the trip for our two boys (the 1 is fully electric, so it has no driver and you can look right out the front while you ride). Just a tip for any other parents trying to entertain young children. I was hoping our kids would run around the courtyard, but our poor ailing son didn't have the energy. It was still a great place to visit. The courtyard was striking, the 17th-century architecture enhanced by one of the coolest public artworks I've ever seen. This was a Daniel Buren installation consisting of dozens of column of varying heights, painted in black and white stripes, a modern sculptural project sponsored by the Ministry of Culture (housed at the Palais-Royal) in the 1980s. I am sure this is famous on Instagram, as it's very distinct and photogenic, as well as interactive. My three-year-old ran around playing among the columns, which also served as seats for the rest of us. There was a cool pair of fountains on another side of the courtyard, by sculptor Pol Bury, sponsored by the Ministry of Culture at the same time as the columns. I didn't know about Palais-Royal before this trip to Paris, and I would've checked it out years ago if I had. It's an easy stop if you're going to the Louvre, and well worth seeing all on its own.

This is still a worthy investment of time, not just to look around and peer into the glass-domed space, but to view the exhibits (individually priced, tickets available at the door). I noticed 3 special exhibits during my visit and paid for entry to 2 (Matisse and Nan Golden). Based on this experience, I'd recommend paying for entry to the exhibits of artists you're least familiar with under the assumption that they'll be less crowded. The Matissse exhibit was crowded enough to render the experience almost unpleasant. The Nan Golden show? Perfect. Though I'd recommend paying to see some exhibits, even if all you do is enter to walk around and explore the space you'll be nicely rewarded. The Grand Palais has some pleasant, quiet seating areas inside and the space is lovely.

The catacombs are part of Paris' abandoned mine and quarry network, and bones were moved to the catacombs because the cemeteries were running out of space. The first bones were transferred from the Cimetière des Saints-Innocents after the cemetery was closed in 1780 due to overuse. The catacombs are an extremely popular attraction, and purchasing tickets in advance is highly recommended as a limited number of people are admitted each hour, and with good reason -- the experience would be extremely unpleasant if overly crowded. However, you can only purchase tickets one week in advance, and the catacombs are not open on Mondays. The two full days we were in Paris were Sunday and Monday, so I had to ensure that we were able to get tickets for Sunday April 7. Fortunately I was successful! Tickets were €29 each, although per the website, they are now €31. Unfortunately, the catacombs are not accessible for people in wheelchairs or who have mobility issues -- the 1.5km long route has 243 stairs -- 131 to descend and 112 to ascend. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and if you want to see bones and skulls (no full skeletons, though), the Paris catacombs won't disappoint!

Now they are part of a collection of unknown souls. It was just a down to earth experience. The audio tour will allow you to wander at your pleasure so there's no real rush or live tour.
