Wow, that is crazy! Never been to Paris (yes, I know, crazy!), and I just know that i will be one of those poor people one of these days, waiting in line for HOURS!
October 21st, 2010  
We visited Paris in the depths of winter, thus avoiding the long lines. In fact, I don't remember any!
October 21st, 2010  
Fantastic capture!
October 21st, 2010  
It is a wonderful capture! Someday I want to be in that line.
October 21st, 2010  
Wow this looks fantastic!
October 21st, 2010  
Boy, those are some lines. I'll be sure to visit in winter like timeandelke suggests.
October 21st, 2010  
Great shot of the old and the new.
October 21st, 2010  
Your pics are just fantastic!
October 21st, 2010  
Nice picture. That is one place I would like to visit. Some family members went last year and I was impressed with their pictures.
October 21st, 2010  
Beautiful! Wow, I'm glad I missed that line! My husband spent three weeks in Paris on business a couple years ago and I flew over for the weekend. I think it was around this time of year, but we must have hit the timing just right because the only bad line we ran into was at the Eiffel Tower.

Fantastic shot , we visited Paris about 40 years ago the modern building was not there, and I don't think we had to wait.
October 21st, 2010  
i hate long lines everywhere I go, but Louvre might be one of very few exceptions. i would be patiently waiting no matter how long the line is!
October 21st, 2010  
Flipping tourists...lol... Is the same over here :-)... I was there for my 40th last year in June... Was such a hot day
October 21st, 2010  
Love the picture and the place! The contrast old and new .... Visited in march this year and I want to return!
October 21st, 2010  
Great shot x
October 21st, 2010  
Yes we saw the queues this summer when we were there - didn't try to go in, was just interested in seeing the pyramid.
October 21st, 2010  
Very awesome!
October 21st, 2010  
Awesome! :)
October 21st, 2010  
looks great, but i would not wait in that line LOL
October 21st, 2010  
beautiful shot!
October 21st, 2010  
I wouldn't even mind being in that line, to have the opportunity to stand in such an iconic location! I probably overuse the word "iconic" when I comment on your photos, but you get such great landmarks!
October 22nd, 2010  
Wonderful shot, Helene. I would love to be in that line! One of these days....
October 22nd, 2010  
What a perfect capture. Wonderful photo of the Louve before opening. It is a fav...
October 22nd, 2010  
It's on my bucket list!! such a great capture.
October 22nd, 2010  
Popular page here. Well done.
October 22nd, 2010  
I've been in that line 9 times, and looking forward to my 10th in February :) Great capture, somethings are so worth lining up for!!
October 22nd, 2010  
I love your photos, Helene! You bring back so many memories of my trip to Paris with my mother in 2002. We spent one day at the Louvre, but I seem to remember coming in through an underground level. I know we didn't have to stand in that line! I found one of my photos of the Louvre from that trip, if you'd like to see it: http://flic.kr/p/8KCTXB
October 22nd, 2010  
wow! cool photo! i didn't have to stand in that line when i visited, thankfully. however, i would have! it's worth it!
October 22nd, 2010  
Crazy line - The lighting looks very nice.
October 22nd, 2010  
It's funny, I've been in that square a number of times, but it's always been empty. Lucky, I guess. What an amazing museum. Would have waited a long time to see it if I'd had to!
October 22nd, 2010  
Everyone standing in line to get in..can you see me in the line up..wish I was one of them. great picture to share with us less fortunates.
October 22nd, 2010
