We went to the Louvre on our last night in Paris. Since we wanted to see as much as possible we took the Masters tour and then went wandering around on our own. We went on a Wednesday night after Paul’s meetings so it wasn’t that crowded.
The Venus de Milo was beautiful, of course, and was really large. On the audio tour they had us view it from all different angels and distances which was really interesting. We also saw the Mona Lisa and some of the other more famous pieces. The museum was so enormous that you could have taken a week to go through and truly appreciate everything there was.
After the Master’s Tour we visited Napoleon’s apartment. To say it is opulent is an understatement. It would have been amazing to see the whole palace decorated like this. And these were only his private quarters. 
It was dark when we left and this was one of my favorite pictures in Paris. I love how you can see the clouds passing by in the sky. I had always thought the pyramid was lit at night but we didn’t see that while we were there.
We went to a nice dinner at a little restaurant near the Louvre and then headed back to our hotel. We got a drink at the panoramic bar on the 33rd floor of the hotel and the views were spectacular. It was a fun way to spend our last night in Paris.
