Paris: Classical Art vs Charcuterie Art

Admittedly, I don’t have a full appreciation for classical art.

But the Grand Louvre is worth a visit for the architecture alone.
The amalgamation of modern design with a 12th century Palais is an inspiring sight to behold.

La Musée du Louvre is a maze of art and artifacts that winds and stretches for miles. After a tiring day of jostling through flocks of tourists and straining my neck to see what others were staring at, I was ready for a break.

My suggestion? Cross over the Seine River to the Left Bank, away from the hustle and bustle, and settle at one of the many cafés that dot the path.

The craft of meat curing and cheese making.

This is art that touches my heart.
