Escalier Daru

Posted on January 31, 2018 Updated on October 9, 2021

BY FAR, our favorite experience at Le Louvre every visit is ascending the Daru Stairs
We arrive as early as we can, to be one of the first to enter the Denon Wing
Up an escalator, through admission, up a small spiral staircase
Through a hall of Classical and Italian Sculpture – the Daru Stairs appear
with the giant Winged Victory of Samothrace at the top
