Inside the Louvre


Inside the Louvre, here is a picture of the Grand Salon (Great Lounge) in the Napoleon III appartements. It shows the typical taste for luxury of this period.

Beautiful detail everywhere you look. Certainly nothing like my home.

Now I'm wondering if I saw this. The Louvre is so big, you could spend days and days here. This is a lovely image!

I remember seeing this. As I recall there is another very enchanting room nearby. I hope that you have other photos from the Louvre to share with us.

Laurent, do you ever dine in the 5e arrondissement? If so, I have a restaurant to recommend to you.

J'adore la sculpture, Winged Victory. Avez-vous des photos pour nous?

Very luxurious! You captured it very well! Great shot!

James said...

Very nice, It sort of reminds me of the Musée Jacquemart-André on Blvd Haussmann. No photography allowed in there.

Lowell said...

Thank you for this photo. We were in the Louvre, but we didn't see this!

I didn't know that the Louvre had recreations of entire rooms — I always thought it was all paintings and sculptures. This is magnificent!

Onje of my favourite displays in this section is Marie-Antoinette's travelling cosmetics chest !

Laurent said...

Sorry Harriet but I wont't be able to recommend a restaurant in the 5th arrondissement for you because I vey rarely dine there.
