La pyramide du Louvre. After the mus�e d'orsay we went to see the pyramid in front of the Louvre. We went inside where it was free but didn't actually do the museum. We were pretty museumed out by that time. The Louvre is absolutely enormous and surrounded by a beautiful garden. It is very impressive. So a petit history lesson on the Louvre. It was built for Louis the 14th, who called himself Le Roi Soliel. He was a young spoiled king who found that the Louvre was just too small for his needs and so he had built for himself a palace at Versaille, which has played many important roles in history since then as well. Voila, don't you all feel enlightened?
