It was just Georgina and myself who returned to the Louvre in the afternoon where we took in the Egyptian exhibition with the biggest display outside Egypt apparently. The first photo is of the pyramid entrance to the Louvre which is spectacular and guides the visitor into a massively light entry area. The art work shows an image of nipple tweaking which is said to signify the legitimacy of the king's new born child which to me simply supports what many say about art in having the critics see in a work something which isn't there or is hidden from the masses.
The final photo is of Louis who appears as arrogant, dismissive and completely self centred. The man seems to be utterly vain and incapable of understanding the political realities of France in the 18th Century.
