Sorry about that, but better to know ahead of time than only at the last minute when you may have try to push your way into the room.

Once you have read exhibits info on the Louvre website and read reviews on Tripadvisor and watched YouTube, if there are only going to be  a couple of exhibits of interest to you, you may decide that it would be be better to choose a different museum which may have more exhibits which you would like and which would make better use of your short time in Paris.😉 The Louvre with or without advance tickets and depending on where your ideal exhibits are located could easy take an entire morning or afternoon of your time.

Sadly "overtourism" is becoming more and more of an issue in Europe but even more sadly, many of those contributing to crowding are not really interested in an in-depth visit, really only wanting a quick selfie with whatever the exhibit or site is before quickly exiting to move on to their next selfie location.

You might want to buy the Paris Museum Pass

There is a skip the line entrance at the Louvre and Orsay that you can use with it.

 

One other must see in Paris is Sainte-Chapelle. Built by Louis XIV to house relics of the crucifixion, it has the most extensive gothic stained glass in the world. It’s amazing.

 

 

Thank you both!  Paris obviously has a lot to see and do but we haven’t decided for sure yet if we are going there after our cruise. We still have a few days before we can buy return plane tickets so we will decide by then. Even if we do go, we wouldn’t be in Paris long enough to visit more than one museum. We would only be there 3 days.

Another of  our favourites in Paris, and should you be there when the sun is shining it is even more magical.😀

A friend said it is like standing inside a ruby.  She is right.
