1st-century-BC Venus de Milo sculpture.
The collection at the Louver owes much of its wealth to contributions made by various

through treaties between France and Vatican and Republic of Venice, or from Napoleon
I's spoils.

Reine," featuring charming cottages around a lake.

an authentic rustic aesthetic.
