Our Sunday began at the Louvre, one of the worlds most famous museums. While there are many well known works of art found in the Louvre, the most popular is the Mona Lisa, an exquisite portrait painted by Leonardo De Vinci. She was the reason why most visited and as soon as we walked into the room where she was displayed, all you could see was crowds of people snapping pictures like paparazzi. We managed to get to the front of the crowd and saw the Mona Lisa in all her glory. Afterwards we continued to walk through the museum and saw most of the exhibits, one of our favourite being the ancient African exhibit. We stayed at the Louvre till it closed at six and then managed to catch the Tour De France. Being there watching it in person is a completely different experience than seeing it on television. So many people with so much spirit cheering for their country. Though we are not so into the sport of biking, we really enjoyed watching one of the biggest French sporting events of the year. After the race we headed home and made dinner (spaghetti) and spent the rest of the evening admiring the view at the top of the Sacre Coeur. Not only does it have one of the most gorgeous views of the city but its also a popular spot to relax and hang out with friends.
