Swimming at the Louvre



NOTICE the Louvre is closed on Tuesday, everyone remember this when you visit Paris. Obviously we discovered this the hard way, however it didn’t matter as we made good time into Paris today by driving to Versailles and the catching a train straight to our destination. So after realizing the error of our ways we stuck our feet in the fountain pools at the louvre to try to get some relief from the heat. Moving on 100m we made our way to the Museum of Decorative Arts. This was a surprise package, a great variety of arts are covered with something for everyone, fashion for Mum, furniture for Dad, toys and advertising for the boys. After some more red bus touring we stopped for dinner at our first Parisian restaurant. It was here that we met our waiter who obviously enjoyed Fawlty Towers and had modeled his waiting style after Manuel. Much more fun on TV than in reality. After this 3 hour debacle we made our way home again getting in at about 1 am.
