RVing in Europe - Paris, France, Day 1 The Louvre

June 15-17, 2007

We spent a total of Euros 202 from Barcelona to Paris for diesel, 198 liters of diesel at Euros 1.02 per liter
We spent a total of Euros 83.75 for toll fees
Total mileage was around 1100 kms.



Camping du Bois de Boulogne is 11 kms from center of Paris.  We arrived in this camp early morning on June 15.  We checked-in, was given our assigned spot, settled-in and took a bath.  We were later ready to go to Paris - day 1.

At the gate of the camp, there is a bus that takes campers to the city (euros9.60 for 3).  From the city we took a metro/train/subway (euros 4.20 for 3) to reach Paris.



Entrance to The Louvre was Euros25.50 for three.  We decided to dedicate the day to The Louvre and that's what we did.  The Louvre, the building, was massive in size.  The Louvre's art collection was equally massive.  The Louvre is not meant for a day's visit definitely.  We took a lunch break and a Starbuck's break later to recharge and went back to the Louvre after each break.  We were happy we persevered going to all the rooms to see most art if not all of them.  We really enjoyed our experience and we felt proud to have seen these important art collections.  Btw, this was second time to see Louve for Mar and I.  The first one was in 1998.
