I had only seen it on maps before comming to Paris. Walking on the bank of the seine, I realised how HUGE it really was. visiting the museums was amazing, yet took days. I loved every minute of it

When you think about the view from the Louvres where you can see the 2 arches of triumph, la Concorde, the Champs Élysées and the financial district "La défense" behind it... 😍
Paris isn't perfect but this precise alignement is honestly the most beautiful urban space on Earth to me.

This video is so easy to understand and that timeline explanation is really accurate, if we learn and understand history like this, everyone would love to study history.
videos like this fascinate people to know about History.

I miss spending my monday mornings and friday nights in the Louvre... take me back to my exchange semester days :’(

One of my favorite places in the world. I knew about some of the history, but I didn't realize that it was this old! To put things in perspective, construction started about 300 years before Columbus landed in the Americas. Imagine all the conflicts this building has survived!

Wish more videos would be made short and to the point, like this one.

Imagine saying to someone:
"I'm going to be late today, I've got to clean the Mona Lisa."

Excellent combination of timeline and visuals for maximum clarity. I had not realized so much of the structure was relatively recent, from the Second Empire era. Also, very helpful to see the use of the modern floor plan throughout. Very good work.

Great video, thanks for sharing. I’m so glad that I was able to visit the Lourve museum back in the day.
Great experience seeing everything there.

la Chevalier d'Artagnan could spin weaves of tales from the Louvre. A most devoted and capable personage of the age. Athos, le Comte de la Fere and Raul, le Vicomte de Bragelonne could also spin some tails. Porthos and Aramis too! I could go on and on. I love history, and Dumas really did a great job bringing these histories to life in the d'Artagnan Romances. I am awe stricken with wonderment.
