And we're marching to Bastille Day
The guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Sing, oh choirs of cacophony
The king has kneeled
To let his kingdom rise.
Rush, Bastille Day
Yes, I will be there 13-16 July

Woo Hoo!
At the Louvre the Special Collection of Da Vinci is on exhibit. The last day it is there is the 14th. We are arriving on the afternoon of the 13th so we want to at least go to see the exhibit on the 14th in the morning. My understanding is that the permenent collection is free on Bastille Day but it didn't mention what the price would be for Da Vinci. I have already purchase tix to come back and spend more time.

I am right next to France right now! The people I am staying with are military and aren't really into going over the border. I, however, want to go over and am looking for something to do tommorrow and Monday - I leave Tue AM and won't be back until the 8th.
Maybe travel tommorrow, overnite and Louvre on Monday. That way maybe I can get tickets. I'll go do recon right now and see.
Thanks!

I bought my tix online and have them here with me now. I didn't buy the one on Bastille Day because it is free for entrance to the permenent collection so to see the special collection should be a less than the normal fee. On the web they just had the full tickets for sale (permenent + Da Vinci).

I am going to do some more investigation tommorrow on what exactly "not that far" means in terms of getting to Paris.
I am near the border in Germany and it seems ridiculous to go backwards to FRA to hop on a plane to get there.
This may indeed involve a whole day of train travel, in which case I may be visiting Paris (and the Louvre) later on, like after I hop over to another country for the 4th of July, as I have to be on a plane out of FRA for that trip by Tue AM.
