(based on 8 user ratings)  EDITOR REVIEW: 1er ARRONDISSEMENT. The world's largest, richest collection of art and antiques occupies the Louvre, the world's largest museum and a one-time royal palace. In 1516, young Leonardo da Vinci came to Paris as painter of the Royal Court, bringing with him the "Mona Lisa." This action began the Royal Palace's transformation into a museum. Originally built in 1190, the Louvre became an art showcase in the 1600s but didn't officially open as a museum until 1793. In 1981, then-President Mitterand spearheaded a stunning renovation of the facility, which is now even more beautiful. Nearby, Le Jardin des Tuileries provides an elegant setting for flora and white marble statues. Free admission first Sunday of the month. METRO: Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre 10Best User Reviews
