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.
I have travelled extensively, grew up outside my own country and have been living for a while now in my husband's country. I have loved and admired many cities around the world. Of course, Paris isn't perfect but Paris remains to me the most beautiful city in the world, with its large avenues, its monuments, its harmonious architecture. This city has a charm like nowhere else. The French government had even the wisdom to build its business area with its skyscrapers (La Défense) outside the wall of the City. Paris being my birth city, I'm of course not objective. 😂 P.S. I love its bouquinistes (booksellers) along the banks of the Seine
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.
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!
which is hard to do with all the annoying picture takers. she's in a separate room, but you can hardly see her for the crowd. took almost an hour to get close to it. and then she is under heavy glass....so that kinda ruined it for me. can see her better online in goole search. plus no crowds.
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.
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.
I also enjoyed the smaller fashion/art deco museum by the side. Can't wait to visit this place again & again. This is the big difference between the French & American; the museum tickets were free for French students until 21? it sure encourage curious minds to discover all kinds of history & art. I remember years ago I paid 12Euro for my tickets, I'm sure it's increase by now. Here, I remember tickets to a museums started at lease $25 and up
There are really few baroque elements in the Louvre (not sure there is any). The palais is mainly Renaissance (la Cour Carrée), classical and Napoléon III.

In April 1974, when I was 13, I visited Le Louvre, as part of a student exchange visit. We saw the Mona Lisa, which I considered very gloomy, dark and grimly ugly. It is so small, and, we were separated from it by a 15ft set of bollards and rope. Basically, it may as well have been a postage stamp. So much for that..... However I was entranced by a painting I was able to get up close to: It was a marvellous depiction of a gentleman, leaning over the lower partition of a barn door. He was wearing an hat with a brim, I think he may have had a beard.... he had a mischevious smile, and I swear I was startled at how he appeared to be leaning right out of the frame, looking directly at me.... I have tried to find that painting; to identify the artist, but alas, to no avail. Might anyone have an ideas to help me? Je vous en pris 🎨 🖼 x
Unlucky, I've been there as a tourist, but not inside the museum because of lack of the time and moneu🤭 I just enjoyed the outside view, took some photos,and returned back:( but anyway, it was a good experience
Greece is laughing. Unlike India, Greece's history is well documented all thanks to ancient Greek writers, philosophers, mathematicians, scientists, etc. Those temples rely on Carbon Dating which isn't 100% accurate. Acropolis in Athens is much more older than that. Stop bragging about our long history which a lot are pseudo-history. You are embarrassing us.
@@francinesicard464 I apologise on behalf of the Indian people. He does not represent us. I admit that some of our History was politicised and fabricated. Yes it's true that Indus Valley Civilisation is very old but we don't know for sure how old it is. I believe the Minoan Civilisation in Crete, Greece is much older since it had a lot of artifacts that coincide to its neolithic neighbours in the Middle East and so on.
@@dondimarkidhao5656 It has been burnt by the revolutionaries at the end of the Commune de Paris in 1871, because the Versaillais (bourgeois and royalist's forces) entered the city and began to kill every people who was related from near or far to the revolutionaries (men, women, kids). The bourgeoisie killed nearly 20'000 people during this episode called "La Semaine Sanglante" (The Bloody Week).

id beg to differ. I think it brings the overall cultural, historical, and symbolic value of the palace down compared to it without the pyramid. Very ugly addition in my opinion
@@karkevicius Its actually very smart. It is an adjustment to the new function, which simbolize the story behind the museum and the egyptian artifacts that has brought into the museum. It is also has became a representation of our time for people in the future (maybe 100 - 200 years from now)
H H besides it's symbolism, it offers nothing else. It being a symbol of our generation is no different to if a new section built in the correct historical style was built. It really takes away from the beauty of the palace
@@karkevicius Well, when you have to add a new function - to keep the building survive, not just phisically but economically - the best thing you can do is keep the damage as minimum as possible to the original building. It's impossible to have zero impact
Helped me to help my family, we are poor and I want to change our life, fund my transport project in my country please😢😥 or give me alms😞 don't take me for a scammer I just need to be helpe
I disagree, I find this glass pyramid wonderful, a sort of link to the period of antiquity. A practical opening allowing almost 10 million visitors per year to access the different departments of the museum.
@@francinesicard464 The engineering aspect is very good and a brilliant solution, yes, but this did not require a colossal shopping-mall style obstruction cluttering up the landscape. Any structure of that size, regardless of style, would be out of scale and damage the intended spacial relationship between the wings. Also there is no greenery of any sort and the effect is deeply lifeless. It's simply bad landscaping.
Some parts are still under study before restoration. Others serve as a reserve of 2/3 of Le Louvre collection. The scientific research laboratory of the French museums, one of the most modern and efficient laboratories for the study and restoration of paintings and other artifacts, is located in one of the basements, under the Flore wing of the museum
The pyramid is because our governments are pagans and believe in an Egyptian cult. They also have implemented obeliscs in many cities across the world.
Really clean timeline, excellent to see the changes in a simple way
I wish we had these kinds of videos for all famous historical structures and complexes.

The Mona Lisa is overrated. There are better arts at the Louvre

I have been 9 times and haven't seen everything.
It does help it kept on getting expanded over multiple generations. A good use of the building given its size.
Seeing how huge it is from the Seine is the best reason to do a bateau mouche tour.

The wonderfulness and greatness of the Louvre are unrivaled, immeasurable, and off the charts
Imagine saying to someone:
"I'm going to be late today, I've got to clean the Mona Lisa."
😂😂
you know the Mona Lisa is a really small portrait, right?

Great experience seeing everything there.

One thing I wish we now is, how the rooms looked before it becomes a mousem
I never knew so much of the iconic facade you see in photos is modern! I had always assumed all the courtyard was from the Baroque!
There are really few baroque elements in the Louvre (not sure there is any). The palais is mainly Renaissance (la Cour Carrée), classical and Napoléon III.
