The Lourve

Eventually we made it through Jean de Tuileries, and into the area around the Louvre. We got heaps of photos (again) of the glass pyramid. I always associate the pyramid with "The Da Vinci Code" now, and being there was amazing.

Given that by now it was 8pm (don't let the sunlight fool you), we decided to head into the Louvre to have some dinner. The Louvre itself is not just the art gallery/museum that I had thought it was, and to be honest I was quite disappointed by its commercialism and the materialistic nature of it all.

We went downstairs on our way to the foodcourt, and of course stopped to take the obligatory photos with the upside down pyramid, again another icon of the Louvre. However, we were surrounded by Virgin Media, Esprit and a variety of other stores. Starbucks was just around the corner. Not what I expected at all.

Given that we still had an hour on the train to get back to Disneyland where we were all staying, we decided that after dinner we'd head home. A good thing too - I think we were all just about ready to sleep on the train!
