As the sun lowers over the Seine, the Louvre’s glass pyramid catches the light and the city exhales. You meet at the Arc du Carrousel, slide past the evening crowd with a guide’s calm authority, and step into corridors where stone and paint hold stories centuries old. The museum’s galleries move like rooms in a living history: da Vinci’s small, crowded Mona Lisa drawing curious silence; Delacroix’s Liberty pulsing with movement; the Venus de Milo poised in marble quiet.
