We took a picnic and picniced in the Jardin des Tuileriers, next to the Louvre. It was a perfect evening, mid 20's and a full moon. There was a great playground which was free (unlike the playground in Luxembourg gardens which you had to pay for: 2.50 euros for kids, including Sam and 1.50 euros for adults)
The Louvre is an amazing building, it's enormous. As well as it's stunning selection of art from the middle ages to 1848 it also houses one of the biggest collections of Egyptian treasures in the world. The modern glass pyramid in the main entrance is exactly ten times smaller than the Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt.
We watched the sun set over the Seine then walked back along the river watching the lights on the river and in the city.
