My recommendations are to buy your tickets in advance on line or at FNAC, and then plan for what you want to see. This is a huge museum with lots of treasures and many of them do not have crowds around them. Of course the greatest hits re swamped and you need to be prepared for that. And find some places to sit and rest. Come back another day if you did not see all you wanted to. Great on a hot day.

I loved visiting the Louvre again as my last visit was in my teens 35 years ago. We avoided going to see the Mona Lisa and made a beeline for the Egyptology section and the displays of French paintings. Highly recommended, even if you haven’t booked in advance.

Amazing collection that can be appreciated by even folks who aren’t art connoisseurs!
