No, this isn' the lobby of some 5-star hotel. Someone actually lived in this room. This is the sitting room of the apartments of Napoleon III in the Louvre. Remember that for centuries the Louvre was actually the palace of the rulers of France, and this is one of the rooms in which they lived. (Click on the photo to check out that ceiling!) Paris, France; September, 2011.
Wow! I haven't seen that room. I always buzz in with visitors to see the Mona Lisa, Winged Victory and Venus De Milo then hurry back out to the next tourist attraction. Lesson learned from the gr8ful grind...stop and enjoy and see more in life!

I'm really enjoying your pictures. Some of them look like paintings. Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for posting them.
