The man who stole the Mona Lisa was an Italian called Vincenzo Peruggia (1881-1925), an amateur painter who worked at the Louvre. On the 21st of August 1911, he took the painting out of its frame and, putting it under his uniform, a large white blouse, walked out of the building. Two years later he tried to sell it to the director of the Uffizi Museum in Florence. The director went to see him with two policemen who arrested Peruggia. The thief did not resist and said he just wanted to return the painting to Italy where it belonged. He served 7 months in prison and died twelve years later of a heart attack.

We stopped to Paris on a cruise. The port was in LeHavre, 3 hours from Paris. We had 6 hours round trip, and 3 hours in Paris. My husband and I planned our Paris itinerary down to the minute to decide if we wanted to try to do it. In 3 hours, we saw the Eiffel Tower, stood right under it, walked through the lawns, got souvenirs, uber'd to the Louvre, had an excessively long wait for the ladies room (I was going to explode), saw the Mona Lisa, Winged Victory and Venus De Milo, looked through a gift shop, got slightly lost finding the exit (entered through the pyramid and came out somewhere else past a bunch of amazing shops??), got some baguettes, took photos outside the pyramid on those block things, complete with our finger on top of the pyramid...Walked from the Louvre to Place De La Concored, and made it back on our charter bus with 15 minutes to spare! 😂😂😂😂 I don't recommend that high speed of an itinerary unless you're prepared to ruuuuun. But we are so proud of ourselves 😂😂😂 Lesson learned -plan new trip to Paris NOT on a cruise and actually spend some real time enjoying the city.

Once again, this is such a fabulous video and shows the value of spending money to save time and sanity (our mantra)! Also, book tickets in advance if not using a guide. We know people who waited over 3 hours just to get a ticket. For anyone who feels overwhelmed, a guide is such a great idea. When we took our kids (10-14 at the time), I had them make a list of anything they wanted to see and they all cheekily said "the Garbage Pail Kid" aka, Mona Lisa. We entered the Louvre just as they opened with our prebooked tickets and made a beeline for her with a large group of other people. We then looped back just a bit to see a couple paintings I wanted to see, a couple sculptures, statues, and when we saw the last one, we had only been in the museum for 30 minutes. We walked more - we let our kids lead the way - and got food, probably at the museum for 4-5 hours total, but it was a really great experience.

Colleen and Antoine, you really outdid yourselves with this video. I have lived in Paris for years, and I learned a lot from this. As a child I remember the entrance to this enormous museum was a little door to the south-west of the pyramid. I have never used a guide in Paris anywhere because my father was a historian who gave us the low-down on everything. But Whalid is fantastic and I would love to have him as a guide. When people tell me they want to go to the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa, I try to dissuade them. I don't think it is worth the trouble. I haven't seen it since the early 70's before it was put behind glass. There are so many other fantastic things to see there. My personal top favorites are the Coronation of Napoleon, Liberty Leading the People, and the Victory of Samothrace. That is a tall order because there are so many other things which I absolutely love there as well. There has been talk in France of rebuilding the Tuileries Palace in order to display more of the Louvre's collections. In spite of it's enormous size, they have so much in storage.

With some 200 museums in Paris, I decided to focus on all the other ones - and returning to my favorites. Now I think I’m ready to tackle the Louvre again - perhaps hiring a guide. So, thank you. Btw I’m sure you have mentioned this in the past videos, but one of my favorite cafés, Café Marly, is hidden behind pillars near the Louvre Pyramid. Great people-watching. I learned about it from a French friend. It’s one of her favorite places to meet!

Most of the art Museums in Australia are smaller, you can see most of what is on display in a morning or afternoon, and… you rarely experience crazy crowding I always knew that the crowds were huge but I hadn’t seen just how crazy.

Vibrant reds and whites and city walls and it looks very realistic. Not blood and guts, though there were probably red splotches. I don’t remember the details but do remember the size, the realism, the depth and the detail. Skills far superior to mine, I believe, but I would like to see. I remembered it during your tour.

I'm so sorry that was your experience. I truly hope you can make it back! And here's hoping as they get older, your kids will look back and appreciate that you took them. I have one kid who is definitely NOT a museum person but she looks back even a couple years later and her opinion is "yeah, it was pretty cool, I guess." I'll take it.

I’m so sorry that happened. My kiddo is 7, and I think we will wait until he’s 18 to go to the Louvre 😂

The trick to seeing the Louvre with kids is to build their interest (the fort, the mummies, etc). Another trick is to hire three guides that do scavenger hints for kids and families. We've talked with quite a few families that really enjoyed it.

Lol not for nothing, but if I were a kid, I'd hate it too except for the pyramid part. Museum of natural history would have been and still is more my thing.

Ahahah I've been living in Paris for 24 years and I've never visited this museum. I prefer other places such as the Museum of the army at the Invalides that I saw several times (only one section at a time).

It's pretty magnificent. Since you live here, it's worth seeing one section at a time like you mentioned at Invalides. There is so much diversity and beauty.

By the end of the 20th century, I accompanied two couples of fellow linguists - one American, the other Japanese [alphabetical order]. They wanted to see Mona Lisa and Michael Angelo's slaves. Mona Lisa was not hard to find, but I got lost on my way to the slaves. When we eventually reached them, we were exhausted, and decided to call it a day. LOL

Oh.... that's easy to do. Have you seen our first Louvre video? I look like Tweedle Dumb in that one wandering around everywhere!

Another excellent video - entertaining and informative. Your guide was charming and quite knowledgeable. I can’t believe you were able to see so much in just two hours! But that’s the advantage of having a good guide who can point out salient details and explain their importance. In my visit to Paris I spent two whole days in the Louvre, and saw all the things he pointed out, but they were kind of lost in the oceans and oceans of incredible art. I would’ve liked to have spent more time looking at Marianne for instance. I do wish you would vary your attire somewhat. We’re all kind of tired of seeing that same marinière. A loose fitting dark print top would be so much more flattering for you. Anyway, I’m no fashion maven, but variety can be a good thing. That aside, I love all your videos, and I hope you continue to create content as excellent as this. Thank you so much!

Sorry my choice of outfit bothers you. I don't recall anyone complaining about Steve Jobs or Obama stating the same thing all the time. I guess it's the plight of being a woman to be judged this way. My plan is to continue creating valuable content for people who are more interested in info about Paris than what shirt I am wearing.

"All" who are tired of seeing her outfit? Not me! They can wear what they like; I'm focused on what they're doing and saying! I always think it's the weirdest thing when commenters purport to speak on behalf of everyone! Speak for YOURSELF only! 😂😂

It is amazing. Really TOO much. Anything over 2 hours and I glaze over. SO much to see, too much really. First timers - do your research before you go. Don’t expect to see everything.

Get a guided tour. Unless you’re deeply familiar with the museum, you will get lost.
