I rented one of the audioguides and started with the Lourve book to find all the paintings of my dreams. It was not crowded, for example I was the only person in the Rembrandt room, all alone with those paintings.
Talk about a happy camper. My Mom would be so astonished that I am so interested in the art she loved. It rubbed off after all.
This is the map of the rooms I saw and I marked the ones I want to revisit if I can. The page numbers match the lourve catalog of great art book that Dee and I bought.
I paid so much attention to the art, that it was late lunchtime before I knew it. I decided to simply rest my foot by eating in the museum. I managed to order some food. Coffee and a quinche. And stare at the statues that shared my space.
This was a late night for the Lourve which worked out well for me. It took me until 6:30 to find my Renoir that I knew was in that place somewhere!
Finally left at 7:30 PM for dinner with the girls. A truly grand day for me.

great pictures of the Louvre and what a yummy looking lunch. I just ate, and lookingat that made me hungry.
Is the Rembrandt painting a self-portrait?
OK. I am Captivated by the Renoir. I believe the Girl in Foreground is Singing (from the sheet music) and the Woman is playing a Tone Pipe?
OMG, anything Renoir (and any of the the Impressionists) laid brush to speaks to me.
