Day 3 - More Louvre

Somehow it feels that today wasn't the most efficient use of time. Anyhow, went back to the Louvre for another looksy at the Mona Lisa which was good as there were fewer people and no staff herding you through in a hurry.

Afterwards I discovered the Large French Paintings and this was fantastic. For those in the know, Liberty Leading the People


and Raft of the Medusa
are almost right next to each other. Seeing is believeing as one of them is 7m high.

Then in the room next to this they were having an exhibition on Napoleon through the eyes of Jacques Louis David (thus they'd bought together a whole bunch of other famous paintings).

Also found the Venus de Milo and a whole bunch of other classical sculptures. Found the Concert Champrete tucked away in a corner and couldn't believe anyone was looking at it.
