3 Louvre The world-famous art gallery was originally made a royal palace and

4 now houses five thousand works of art, not including the Mona Lisa Visitors

5 come from all over the whole world to see these and admire the grand

6 architecture of the building itself

7 However, in the 80s , a more contemporary attraction was being built in the

8 gallery’s courtyard; giant glass pyramids which , because of their sharp

9 contrast, look out surprisingly spectacular The Musée d’Orsay is another

10 art gallery whose present function differs more greatly from its original use

11 Now filled with paintings by Van Gogh and Monet, the building was at once

12 a railway station On the other hand, the Beauborg, also known as the

15 the outside

16 For those ones who prefer to watch the world go by rather than look at the

17 world in pictures, Les Deux Magots and Café de Flore are definitely worth such

18 a visit These two street cafés are destinations from where many famous

19 writers and intellectuals from the past met for coffee and the stimulating
