is a remarkable city. With a history of poets and philosophers, artists and a
cinematic-cool, it has much to see and experience in the way of Left Bank arts
and culture, and the Louvre museum perhaps takes centre-stage as the city's iconic
attraction. It
is home to the Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory and a few million other pieces of
art that probably make it the most expensive building in the world to insure.
Literally millions of tourists pass through the doors every year. An additional
impressive aspect of the Louvre though, is the building itself.
First built as far back as 1190 and developed through the architectural ages,
the construction is quite remarkable. The pyramid, popularised by the book (and
later the film) of the Da Vinci Code, stands in the courtyard lined by beautiful
gardens. Inside, there are all sorts of routes and
works of art to be impressed by. One of the busiest seems to be the Da Vinci Code
trail that follows the route of the book right up to the Mona Lisa - surprisingly
diminutive in size but impressive in reputation and story. A further piece -just
one of many - bound to leave an impact, is the Winged Victory, an awesome, marble
statue of the Greek goddess Nike, made in the third-century. Also, Hammurabi's
Code is worth a look. It is a block of black rock that rears up from the floor,
and was - significantly - the first codified law system.
The
Louvre should probably be visited again and again as there is so much in stock,
it's impossible to try and take everything in during the course of one afternoon
and with online airline companies throwing out cheap flights to European cities
to whiz you there and back in a weekend, the prospect of checking out Paris' art
may be more the appealing. Cheapflights.co.uk

that fly to Paris and Europe, as well as gathering a few Eurostar deals on the
web.
