The Louvre

A colossal French royal château turned into the greatest art museum in the world, the Louvre is the most famous building on the Rive Droite of the Seine. The main entrance is via the mesmerising glass pyramid designed by IM Pei and opened in 1989. First-timers tend to go straight for Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa in the extensive Italian collections, and visitors sometimes forget that the gallery boasts a superlative array of French masterpieces, as well as phenomenal French and foreign sculpture galleries. As if that wasn't enough, the vast place also contains one of the largest collections of ancient treasures in the world, including staggering Egyptian artefacts brought to France after the Napoleonic campaigns.
