Musée du Louvre
September 17, 2006
With no agenda in mind, we went to Musée du Louvre, our home base last December. The place was swamped by tourists from all over the world! There was a long line in front of the Pyramid; I bet that most people just wanted to experience the famous entrance. We took a relatively hidden entrance to its underground shopping center, to get a new battery for my Swatch that just died 2 hours ago.
The nice, young salesman showed us that the battery was fine but the watch had just died (Great quality control, Swatch!) and explained to us how to get it fixed in the States. Unfortunately, he was not able to put the battery back. After much trial and error and his co-worker’s reluctant help, he finally gave up and handed me a new one. Wow! Talking about customer service!
We walked along La Seine and saw one after another boats fully loaded with tourists. It made me wonder if there were more tourists than real Parisians at this particular moment?

Interesting topic… I’m working in this industry myself and I don’t agree about this in 100%, but I added your page to my bookmarks and hope to see more interesting articles in the future
