Paris Day 4

01/10/2010

Today we visited Paris' most famous museum, The Louvre. On the walk up to the Louvre, which is called the Jardin des Tuileries, there are lots of ponds with chairs around then which I sat on. This would be really nice in summer, but a bit cool right now!

The Louvre contains lots of artwork and it is so big that we only saw some of them today. I saw the famous painting the Mona Lisa, as well as as statue of Venus de Milo (her arms are missing, I don't know why everyone wants to see her).

After the Louvre we had French hot dogs and then we walked around looking towards the Pompidou Centre which is a famous art gallery where all the building's pipes are on the outside of the building and are painted all different colours.

After this we went back to Notre Dame, this time to go insidie for a look. It is just as beautiful inside as it is outside. Mummy took lots of photos, she loves churches! Then it was back to the hotel for some quiet time watching TV and colouring in.
