Paris {Day Three}

"The Louvre"... It's really hard to get a sense of how HUGE it is... This virtual tour will give you a bit of an idea... We saw a lot but not even close to everything! What an amazing place!

I had no idea how beautiful and ornate "The Louvre" is... Housed in what used to be a palace, just walking around the building was good enough for me!

My husband is a chess player and collector of chess sets... We were both in awe of this gilded chess set in "The Louvre"
