Anyone who's ever visited (or tried to visit) the Musée du Louvre, the most famous if not biggest museum in the world - formerly a royal palace - knows about the endless crowds, the lines, the mayhem, the coveted skip-the-line tickets.
But last week, thanks to an unexpected invitation, I found myself in the surreal position of being practically alone roaming its vast halls, galleries and sumptuous rooms and, as in the epilogue to The Da Vinci Code, "adorned in masters' loving art."
