(Spoiler: it hurts in places you didn’t know could ache.)

It starts with good intentions.
You wake up early, throw on your most Parisian outfit, maybe even skip breakfast just to be first in line for the Louvre. The Mona Lisa awaits. The Winged Victory beckons. The pyramid sparkles.

And then—BAM—reality slaps you like a baguette to the face.
The line.
Not just any line. A Louvre line.
A line that stretches longer than your Airbnb lease. A line that wraps around like it’s auditioning for a Netflix docuseries titled “Humans Waiting for Art.”

Thirty minutes in, you’re still at the outer gate.
An hour in, you’re googling “how long is too long to stand in the sun.”
Two hours in, the crowd parts like the Red Sea and someone walks right in with a skip-the-line pass they got from FastAccessTickets.com or Allejo.fr.
You? You’re still behind the couple arguing in four languages and the family of five melting into the pavement.

And just when it’s almost your turn…
The announcement comes: “Due to capacity limits, we are no longer admitting visitors without timed reservations.”

You blink.
You stare at the Louvre like it just dumped you.
You try to smile. You fail.
You go get a croissant, but it tastes like regret.

Let’s Not Do That Again, Shall We?

Here’s what you should do:
🎟️ Pre-book your Louvre fast access ticket (like, right now).
✨ Get timed entry.
👋 Skip the lines.
🖼️ Actually see the Mona Lisa—not just on someone’s Instagram story.

Because the only thing worse than missing the Louvre…
…is missing it while standing right outside it for two hours. 😩
