A Day at the Louvre with a Million Other People

For one reason or another I hadn't planned on huge crowds in Paris. To see the sights without waiting in lines required early mornings or late nights-neither scenario worked for young kids.

So we made the most of mid-day hours at crowded cultural attractions. 

From Notre Dame, we strolled down the Seine to the Louvre Museum arriving at lunch time. 

We navigated the museum's crowded, confusing maze of passageways, 

And discovered some winning moments along the way.
