Day At The Louvre

After dropping Helia at the airport, we got a ride to the Louvre where we spent most of the day.  We oldsters are really dragging...........  Huge lines, thousands of people, and crowded exhibits are due to it being a holiday week.  The good thing is that the entrance fee is still only $11E which is money well spent.  The place is massive - we likely saw about ten percent of it but we saw what we wanted and now I think that we'll stick to smaller museums.

We used the Metro to come back where we enjoyed a late lunch at a neighborhood Brasserie and did some shopping at a wine shop.  Wine here is not expensive.  A glass of wine at a cafe is generally only around $4E and we bought four bottles with an average of $11E each and the wine shop owner insisted they were some of his best.  (Our fingers are crossed).
