The Louvre's Best View Isn't What You Think

Forget the Mona Lisa crowd crush. The real magic happens on the second floor of the Richelieu Wing, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Tuileries Garden like a living painting. I stumbled here after giving up on Da Vinci's tiny masterpiece—couldn't even get close enough to see her smile through the wall of selfie sticks. But this? This was accidental perfection. Paris spreads out beyond manicured hedges. Light shifts across limestone and leaves. Tourists become tiny figures below, oblivious to the postcard moment happening above their heads. The Mona Lisa will always be there, behind bulletproof glass and barriers. This view changes with every season, every hour. It's the Louvre's best-kept secret hiding in plain sight. 🏛️ #ParisSecrets #LouvreHacks #TravelTipsThatStick #Travel
