The Mona-Lisa run Running / Marathons Review

The run - part of the "See All Tourists' Stuff" is (un)organised every day (except tuesdays of course because 'if it's tuesday, it must be Belgium' (not Paris)) in the Musee du Louvre - Aile Denon - first floor - Italian paintings department.

Your goal - in this adventure - is to see (have a look at, pass in front off, breeze along....) Mona Lisa
Your concurrents (hey, you didn't think you'd be alone ?) are the finest selection of the best international tourists, coached by the most famous travel agencies.

What ?
You don't know why you are here ?
You aren't an art lover ?
Leonard de Vinci - who's that guy ?
Mona Lisa - errr ...hmmm... what ? when ?
It doesn't matter : this is on your TO DO list !! I

So :
On your marks, ready, GOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

Once done (no need to realy see it, you just have say you did it after all) DON'T forget to tick your list !!! (DONE)

PS : this run can be taken as a part of a more important challenge : The Louvre in 6 minutes (featuring also the Venus de Milo and the Victoire de Samothrace)

PPS : for juniors, seniors and chickens (like me), a less taxing competition is possible on thursdays, after 18h (February is a good month for it too)

Equipment: A camera (forbidden by the museum rules but i heard you can score some more points with it)
A helmet
Non slippery shoes (rubber soles recommended, the wopdden floor is treacherous)
Disposable clothing (not sure it will survive, bring a change set)
Good elbows
Padding
First aid kit (ask a non participant to hold it for you)
NB : No doping control

Address: Musee du Louvre - Aile Denon - 1st floor

Directions: Just follow the crowd (you can't do anything else any way once you have reached the door)
