If you find your way down to the lower level of the Louvre, you'll find this room where the sculpture restoration takes place. Eerie? Yes, but what a wonderful find!
Well, I've never done that before at the Louvre! We'll have to look for the sculpture restoration department the next time we're in the Louvre.....maybe next summer? Qui sais!
I'm surprised that many of you have not seen this room. It is visible from the floor above as I recall. I've actually found it twice I think. Now you must all search for "her" the next time you are there! :) V
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, part-time painter, lover of all things French ( whose français is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic art museum volunteer, grateful community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". My 2008 trip I looked at Paris with a different eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip. I was thrilled to return to Paris and the French countryside in June and July of 2009, and blogged daily while there. I've returned to the city I love in January and June- 2010 , January 2011 and January 2012! Each time I visit, it feels more and more like home, and I discover new and interesting things with each trip. I cherish the time with my Paris friends as well as the friends that always join me there. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

I've also seen this room. You've captured the ambience of the place perfectly in this b&w shot!
I am exhausted tonight and didn't need you to put nightmares in my mind.
The magic of Paris is being shown on every single one of your photographs Virginia.
