"..The known history of the Louvre started as early as year 1190, when king Filip II built a fortress on the site to protect Paris from Viking raiders. The remains of this fortress can actually still be seen in the Louvre crypt.

During the 14th century, Charles V converted the fortress into a royal residence and later in 1546, Francis I had the whole site renovated into the French Renaissance style Louvre one can see today. Francis I is by many seen as the founder of the modern Louvre, as he not only renovated the site, but also acquired the Louvre's center piece; the Mona Lisa."

I like it tremendously, but it takes so long to watch it. YouTube is so reserved in

letting me watch it at ease ! They need time, so it seems. Thank you very much, anyhow.

I want to cry without feeling the pain of being a human-being!, not being a nomad, always looking for an inspiring place, where I can think of God, this place was one that most made​my mind flowing.
