The queue was short as it was a timed visit. The map wasn't easy to navigate but was somewhat helpful. There was no way we could see everything so we did as much as possible and it was a great experience. Not all the paintings and art works had an audio guide recording which I think wouldn't be difficult to add to the app even few lines would be better than nothing. One last thing, I don't understand why the tickets arrived very late the night before the visit date. Despite the customer service reassuring me that it would come but I was still nervous about it. For future I suggest that you send them at least 48-72 hours in advance for the peace of mind of customers.

It actually makes more sense to buy tickets in advance. There are 2 entrances. The queue at the pyramid to buy tickets was up to the moon. The one for tickets already booked was empty. You should really bring plenty of time if you want to see all the areas at your leisure. It's a bit confusing in the palace itself because the rooms and floors merge seamlessly. Without a plan, you're almost lost. It is really worthwhile if you want to see the many masterpieces. Only the Mona Lisa area could be handled differently. It's all pushing and shoving although everyone gets the chance to see it. You need patience and nerves of steel.

The excellent artifacts from Egypt, Babylon and other countries, some of which were 4500 years old, were up-to-date and vividly crafted for eternity! The audio guide that was provided to us provided additional information in a clear and concise manner and was very helpful, as the museum's audio guides are currently being revised and are not available. We entered the exhibition with a moderate waiting time of 1 hour at the Carrousel entrance, as the tickets were not available until 10:30 am. So if you like exciting moments and unpredictability, you should prefer this type to any thriller. Thank you for that!

My experience at the Louvre was fascinating; each step revealed more of the history of different regions. The Greek statues, the Egyptian and Persian areas and the medieval Louvre were the highlights that delighted me the most.

I specifically went to see the Couture exhibition and stayed to see many beloved works of art, and have a bit of lunch. Venus de Milo, Winged Victory of Samothrace, the recently restored portrait of Anne of Cleves by Hans Holbein the Younger, the epic series of Rubens 24 paintings for Queen Marie, and of course, La Joconda.

The eternal queuing despite having a reservation and a ticket is more than annoying. In the Louvre it spreads out a little after you have passed the second, correct ticket control. For Mona Lisa, plan to queue for another half an hour to an hour. The mass of people and abundance of exhibits is overwhelming - you need several days to take a cursory look at "everything".

Huge and beautiful museum with dedicated rooms. Beautiful also the integration of themed haute couture creations. Too bad about the Mona Lisa room not well managed and too much confusion Very kind and knowledgeable hostess who handed us the tickets and excellent queue jumping
