[quote=Anonymous]I'd do the Louvre because you're going with your 15 year old and it's their first time. I'd do the "hits" knowing my kid will probably return to Paris in their 20s and can do the next layer of the onion, but with that first trip at a young age you can't go wrong with like: Louvre, Arc de triumph, moulin rouge, Notre Dame.

Definitely be strategic about when you go and how you approach. If you have no interest in the Mona Lisa, all the better! You can avoid those crowds. I personally love the Greek/Roman antiquities galleries because the scale is so dramatic and it's so unlike any other setting. And I do like that they tend to be less crowded. I also like the French painting galleries on the second floor, which feel more intimate and have some of my favorite works in galleries that feel kind of "tucked away." Touring the second floor galleries can also be fun because there are windows that overlook the pyramid or have views toward the Tullieries and the monuments  and those views are fun to discover and help remind you where you are.[/quote]
