Coucou everyone!
"But she's so tiny....." - Every tourist talking about Mona Lisa.
This week, we go to Paris to talk all about the history of the Louvre! From a fortress to the palace/art museum we see today today, the Louvre had quite the glow up. Kate tells Catherine all about the museum's rich, lonnnnnng history. Then Catherine tells the tale of French Freedom fighter, Lucie Aubrac's amazing gumption and fortitude. But tell us, what's your favorite piece in the Louvre and why is it Mona Lisa????
