I was there a long time ago and you couldn't take pics of the great masters - like Mona Lisa. Also, what is the point of taking photos of paintings? If you want to see them, you can simply search online and see them in the best way - shot by pros in pro conditions. You have little to gain by photographing them yourself.
To me it is all about " your own personal experience ," not someone elses.
If I can be photographed or family member next to a great statue or painting that would be more satisfying.
That is why you go anywhere or do anything, for the experience. And if you can document it with pictures or video, that is even better.

Some excellent information already has been posted. One other suggestion since you have time, is to visit some art museums that may be close to where you live and practice some of the techniques you have recieved in preivous post above. True, the lighting isn't going to be the same, but the practice of setting ISO and White Balance will be very helpful when you get to Paris.
Thank you all for the input and advice....

I made many images there. Use a 35 or 50 mm lens, 1/200 SS, 1.8 or 2.8 aperture and Auto ISO if you are shooting manual. Otherwise shoot auto. Hire a guide with a reservation.
Thank you

Thank you, but auto with no flash? Don't you have to hold the camera still for a long time?

Apparently some areas allow photography from what I read and of course a ticket is needed.
I'm trying to research the whole thing before I go,...travel, hotels, points of interest, etc.

Well, I am thinking of getting out of the house, like I should more, and visiting the Louvre Museum and come home with some great photos of the artwork there. I must admit, I am only an occasional photographer who takes his DSLR on vacation and for my purposes shooting on auto and jpeg serves most of my purpose for outdoor. I do shoot on manual when I get on a roll but generally have to re-educate myself on using that mode.
I see that photography in certain areas of the museum is allowed but you cannot use flash. Am guessing even with flash it would make a mess with bounce back reflection.
I am looking for some advice on where to start with manual settings. Enough light will be a big concern of course and am thinking of shooting with raw and jpeg but especially raw for insurance. What do you think? I would appreciate any input....thanks.
