Of the obligatory sights at the Louvre was Venus de Milo, and of course the Mona Lisa. The latter was quite small, and there was a fence to keep the many visitors from getting too close. There was a crowd of people, all trying to see it or take a selfie with it in the background. I took the photo below with a telephoto lens, enhanced with Photoshop.
We also visited another very good museum in Paris which is housed in what was once a train station. It is the Musee d Orsay, which houses some very prominent impressionist paintings including Van Gogh, Manet, and Gauguin..
