You probably know the Louvre but do you know these anecdotes?✨ Formerly the home of the kings of France, the Louvre became a museum during the French Revolution. Today, it presents a collection of more than 35,000 works of art spread over 60,000 m2, including masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, the Raft of the Medusa, Liberty Guiding the People... and so many others! 🖼️ The Louvre is so big that it will take you 100 days to visit it in its entirety by spending 30 seconds in each room. 🏺 The Louvre is the most visited museum in the world, with an average of 15,000 visitors per day, 70% of whom are foreign tourists.😀 The Louvre was never intended to be a museum. It was originally a fortress, built under Philip Augustus to protect Paris in the late 12th century. Its location was intended to protect the capital from an attempted invasion by the English from Rouen along the Seine.🏛️ Book your tickets for Louvre guided tour on Pariscityvision.com🎨 #visitparis #tourismparis #visitfrance #frenchculture #visitthelouvre #louvremuseum #guidedlouvre #parislouvre #lesaviezvouslouvre
