Day 4 in Europe (Paris)

Headed to the Louvre early today! Though the intention was to avoid the crowds, it probably wasn't necessary as it seems to be a lot less packed when it isn't free entry (14 juillet).

The place is huge! Well obviously, everyone says so. But I had my preconceptions about what 'huge' entails. I don't think you can really understand the scope of the place until you're there; let's just say that I didn't really stop moving to admire certain pieces of art, and I skipped most of hr Denon wing, and it still took a good six hours to get through.

Yep, I'm all museum'd out, and I've only been to one!

At night went looking for some Chinese food via l'Arc de Triomphe. Managed to get in a couple of nice photos before it got dark (this was at 9pm).

Then started my food-finding mission down the Champs-Elysées. No luck. Ended up at Belleville, the 'new Chinatown' to finally find some decent Chinese food. I'm amazed at how difficult it was to find! By the time I got home it was midnight. So yeah, late dinner heh.

I'd have to say that discovering the room of Rubens' artworks for Mairie de Medicis was the highlight of the day; can't think of any low points!
