The Louvre, one of the largest museums in the world and probably the most famous. Home to Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of Mona Lisa, the Nike of Samothrace sculpture and over 50,000 ancient Egyptian artifacts it’s not hard to see why the Louvre is the most visited museum on the planet. Visitors queue in a line that snakes out of the central glass pyramid waiting to see the Louvre’s treasures. It is said that you would need a solid 3 to 4 days to appreciate every work and exhibition housed inside the Louvre!
I'm travelling the world once again, but this time a little differently. I am currently cycle touring my way through Europe. On the 11/11/11 I pedalled out of Bromsgrove, a few hundred kilometres north-west of London. From there I made my way through central London, down to Dover, caught a ferry to Calais and got started in France. Calais to Amiens, through the hustle and bustle of Paris, into the southern wine regions and am now heading to the Mediterranean coast and the city of Marseille.
