Is going to the Louvre on a Saturday a good idea?

I will be arriving in the mid morning to paris, by the time I get to the hotel and get ready will be most likely sometime early afternoon.

I am following the itenerary done by the Frommer%26#39;s Paris 2008, and it%26#39;s first day starts at the Louvre.

Is that a good idea?

I will be all charged up to finally making it to Paris so energy is not a problem.

Thanks

Most French people have left Paris till 15 August.

Any day at the Louvre is a good day.

In addition to following the tour, I would recommed you get a floor plan upon entry. That way, if there are busy sections, you can keep moving forward and backtrack when it%26#39;s less crowded.

We visited Louvre last Saturday the 12th of July. We arrived at around 11am and ques were still very small at the pyramid entrance. By the time we left (at around 2pm) the ques were longer but nothing bad at all.
