Cliché

Of course, the works in Musée du Louvre are amazing, but so is the architecture in and around Musée du Louvre. This was the last museum we visited on our four day museum pass. Not by any design, it's just the way it worked out. As Brian mentioned, my picture on the left shows an interesting contrast of old, new and ancient. However, our highlight of the day, came as we entered the Louvre. A man asked Brian to take a picture of he and his girlfriend, as Brian started taking a picture, the man proposed to his girlfriend! It's so cliché Paris, but it was very sweet.

After a morning nap from our middle of the night excursion to the Highlander, we visited the Musée Eugène Delacroix, a French Romantic painter. The museum is in his last residence and studio in a small courtyard in the Saint Germain area. We saw works of his both in the museum as well as the Louvre. Note: it's good to remember that this museum is of works by Ferdinand Victor Eugène, not Claire, not Michel.
