From Louvre museum, the royal palace to the chic Vivienne galleries.
Louvre Museum Louvre-museum was the palace of French royal family and government, until Louis XIV moved to Versailles. The palace is so huge, that it makes you feel small in front of the Pyramid. If you have time, go inside and see soo many historical things that the french kingdom has collected over the centuries, including "Monalisa", and Mummy from egypt, and Marble-sculptures, each on different wings. Some says you need a whole week to fully appreciate every corner of Louvre.
Palais Royal Palais Royal was built by Cardinal Richelieu next to Louvre and then used for royal childrens to live and play when Louis XIV was young. Today, Palais Royal also house the famus "Buren Pillars", an artwork consisting of black & white pillars in the courtyard. It has different height and arangements, making it a very interesting background or surounding for the photoshoots. Around the garden there are nice boutiques and galleries which brings us to the hidden galleries behind the palace.
