[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]In my experience, the Louvre is overcrowded by people who don't really care about art, but just want to check a box. [/b]But it's huge. The further away from the Mona Lisa you travel within the Louvre, the more the crowds thin out. I recall very few people near the ancient Greek art, and having the Napoleon Apartments almost to myself. Personally I would skip it, and go to the beautiful Musee Rodin (the best thing in Paris!) or the Orangerie for a more enjoyable day. [/quote]

I find the bolded statement to be absurd.  I'm an art lover but the crowds at the Louvre made me want to leave, almost immediately.  I would have loved an after-hours tour when no one else is there, so I could spend as long as I wanted at every exhibit.  Sadly, that was not our experience.  [/quote]

:roll: 
The PP didn't suggest that YOU weren't an art lover because you've been to the Louvre. If every single visitor to the Louvre were really really into art, and not just there because it's part of the "must-see" tourist circuit, then surely all the amazing art museums in Paris would be equally crowded. But if you're this easily offended, Paris probably isn't the best vacation choice for you anyway.[/quote]
