Mona Lisa
La Joconde, or the Mona Lisa, reigns as the star attraction at the Louvre, surrounded by crowds eager to catch a glimpse of her mysterious smile. The room is packed, with people jostling for space and cameras held high above heads. Honestly, I’d rather spend my time exploring the less crowded galleries, soaking in the incredible sculptures or the underrated paintings that often get overlooked. There’s so much more to the Louvre than wasting time queuing for a fleeting look.
