Maybe Allah Really Is All-Powerful: No Line For The Louvre!
Sure cleared the tourists out of Paris. A friend there says even some of the fashion people aren't showing up for the collections.
Here's the long line at the Louvre -- even in the rain --and the commentary of a guy who took the shot.
The line on the right consists of several hundred people (I'm not exaggerating - click on the other photos if you don't believe me!) who will spend an hour or more on this rainy Sunday afternoon queuing to get into the Pyramid, where they will have to queue again to buy their museum tickets.
Yes, even in ugly weather, you'd see people lined up outside the Louvre.
Here's the line for the Louvre this week, in the wake of Allahu Akbar! slaughters at Charlie Hebdo and a kosher grocery store: 
We waited in the speedy line for people with tickets already for over an hour when we went in June.

Right -- even the speedy line takes a long time when it's good weather. But we used to rent a loft just on the other side of the Louvre (across rue du Louvre) from time to time, and cut through there often. I don't recall ever seeing the Louvre without a line -- even in really bad weather. Until now.

Well, don't tell them about the side entrance then.
I've never had to wait more than 15-20 min at the Louvre. I think I get up earlier in the morning than most tourists.

Between the Charlie Hebdo clear-out and the strong dollar, I'm thinking about doing a spontaneous couple of days in Paris.

Went there about a year after 9/11, and that's what it looked like then. Walked into the pyramid, waited in line about 10 minutes, and we were in.
