Paris - February 2020
We travelled to Venice in 2019 to visit the Vitruvian Man inside the Gallerie dell'Accademia. They had lent it out at the time so we left disappointed.
When we heard that there was going to be a show of the biggest da Vinci collection in the world at the Louvre in Paris, we brought tickets and hopped on a flight... Paris here we come.
01
Leaving Home
First stop Brading train station.
02
Cancelled trains...
On our way across country as they have cancelled all trains after 10:15 so rushing to get to Gatwick.. oh and the French air traffic controllers have gone on strike...
03
Viva La Parisien
We arrived safe and sound in the city of the sparkly tower. Have tickets for metro and will travel...
04
Mouse anyone?
Have you ever seen mice playing poker? I have!! A very interesting shop window for a pest control company...
06
Dinner at Canel St Martin
Fantastic dinner (we ate meat then). Greek or maybe Turkish not sure but fantastic all the same... loving all things French!
08
Finally Da Vinci.
Spent a wonderful day wandering through the Da Vinci exhibit at the Louvre.
Found the collection to be outstanding with a wide range of his earlier works through to his final piece. Sadly the Italians had already removed the Vitruvian Man and returned it to Venice. We are literally the unluckiest admirers know to man!
