Allow plenty of time on your Le Louvre day for lounging around the fountain before or after your visit. Kids can chase the pigeons, while grown-ups people-watch. 

Visit The Louvre Museum website (English version) for opening hours and other info-- and buy your tickets online, so you won't have to stand in long line-ups. Also, at time of writing you can check bags for free, near the entrances. (Check the web site for updates, and changes.)
