The Louvre. Built in the early 12th century as a fortress, it was transformed and used periodically as a royal residence over the subsequent few centuries.
It wasn’t until the French Revolution, in the late 1700s, that the residence was converted into its present day use: a museum, home to 35,000 objects and some of the world’s most revered artistic treasures.
It’s estimated that it would take nine months to look at every single piece in the museum, but don’t be overwhelmed. There are numerous interesting self-guided tours offered, from a greatest hits of the museum’s masterpieces tour to one built around the Da Vinci Code.
