Most visited in Paris
2019 was the last normal year for tourism. If the transport strikes and yellow vests protests can be classified normal. It remains the reference year for the attendance of paying sites drawn up by the Paris Tourist Office. The Louvre came out on top with 9.1 million admissions. The Cour Carrée replaced the old medieval castle from the Renaissance onwards, and the Tuileries wings were added to form a vast museum complex.

The Louvre is a true gem! Although, my feet start to hurt after only an hour there

You make me laugh, but it’s true that visiting such a museum is also a physical ordeal. I plan to explore it in more detail this winter, a bit like exploring the city’s parks for you.

Sometimes I wonder about the floors of museums because even though I make a point of wearing good shoes, it can still hurt. Looking forward to seeing more of your posts about the Louvre!

Such a wise decision! The activity resumes but it is not the same. Even without having to travel, now it is required to book, arriving too early or too late is not good, having a health pass, wearing a mask, some of the more tactile parts are closed; we adapt but it is different.

how open are they right now? Are they open to the vaccinated?

It’s open to health pass holders, vaccinated, tested negative within 72 hours or formerly infected with COVID. They check the pass but not that it’s yours, knowing the French…

Can’t wait to see Paris again. It remains one of our favourite cities worldwide, and is so easy for us when Eurostar is running normally.

Likewise for London when you don’t have to do a 14 day quarantine to spend a weekend!
