❤ I love the Lourve and Paris so much I could watch this documentary many times over. I'm almost brought to tears of joy especially seeing the aerial views. ❤ I've been 7 times in the last 12 years and can't wait for my next visit. This documentary insight only will enrich the experience.

[@raymondhummel5211]

So fascinating is the Louvre in its changes over hundreds of years. So much science is involved in understanding its construction and maintenance.

[@Whodey-AJ]

This is a challenging watch and I was not able to finish it. "Its, so big", "what secrets it holds", "satelite scale", "molecular scale".. over and over and over.. The script is like it's created by a random AI.

[@Astronetics]

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. It just kept repeating the same exact points over and over and over. Incredibly annoying.

[@florante4991]

If the show was originally made to be aired on TV they need to fit the show on an exact time frame. Hence they need to streeetch the show if they don't have enough material.

[@pauc9596]

Fascinating but the constant repetition throughout is not only tedious and irritating but detracts from the overall documentary. The flash transitions between scenes are unpleasant on the eye.

[@kenichinishikawa7007]

I visited Lorre two weeks ago. I stayed 9:30 - 18:00 but I saw only one third of objects. I was very excited with seeing my favorite things. I visited it many times but I never stayed so long in one day. This time I paid more attention to Italian paintings. Since I was there this video provides perspective of building structures which I have been interested in.

[@jackchevalier8105]

Visiting Le Louvre request a lifetime.

I am so enchanted from the documentary

Merci beaucoup 🧡

[@kevinrutter5667]

Excellent!

[@get.factual]

Very glad you enjoyed our content 😏

[@PitboyHarmony1]

Every knowledgeable speaker in this video regarding various components of the building were excellent, very clear, scientific, factual and instructional ... the reason I came to watch this. The overdubbed voice playing the role of the 'host' ... should be fired as should the writer of every word he said. Very severe repetition and over exaggerated pompous, History Channel bombast filler, of absolutely nothing of any value whatsoever. Half the time he literally immediately repeats what the expert just said, or repeats the same flat broad statements regarding the building and its importance or history. Literally, once would do to hear how important the place is. Completely destroyed my enjoyment of the info presented here.

[@edwardolson8996]

Is the Louvre large? Why doesn't the narrator tell us?

[@jh1987r]

😂😂😂

[@manuellubian5709]

I hated the idea of 'disrupting' the open courtyard view of the Louvre. In my opinion they could have / should have considered something LESS invasive than, what they chose to do.

[@get.factual]

Thanks for your comment!

[@MrMountainchris]

The royalty of France got what they deserved. Anyone living in that level of obscene luxury while others starve deserves nothing less. I'm looking at you, billionaires. Great documentary though!

[@soniatriana9091]

Excellent documentary - of course the builders/architects who worked first all the kings/queens were going to use the BEST materials & built UNIQUE castles, they were working for the wealthiest patrons who were the only ones who could afford to build these castles! But I’m wondering how did the Palais des Tuileries burn down, if it was made of the strongest stones available?

[@lisaseatle4965]

I need to return to the Louvre

[@user-sx3wd2ux1c]

Excellent! Does anyone know the title of the original French documentary?

[@tonyvargas368]

Did he say the Louvre was a simple royal palace? Hardly. It is one of the most opulent royal palaces ever. 😂

[@YesItsMeGuys68]

This new way of narration on these videos drives me insane .. They repeat the same information over and over . is it to actually lengthen the video time ? Is this person written od Chatgpt ?????

[@readMEinkbooks]

Standard American OTT narration - so annoying. Everything is 'GEE WOW!' Like it's the most dramatic info in the universe. Best way to watch is to switch off the audio and activate the closed captions and just read it. If this was shown on TV they'd repeat stuff in case you 'tuned in' after the beginning and missed info and to remind viewers what they're watching after the ads.

[@toehead20007]

Using strobe lights during scene transition makes this unwatchable just irritating

[@charlescoffey695]

Yes so YOU can understand the importance!

[@vietinternational5746]

Gee whiz 😮

[@ComfortRoadSessions]

I have to laugh because nearly all of these historical profile docs always start with the same type of intense music underscoring the narrative.

[@sergpie]

Interesting documentary, but the palace of Caserta is larger than the louvre, at over 2 million cubic meters.

[@Tortuex_]

what's the point of this comment ? let's talk about the palace of Versailles then ;-;

[@sorinvirtop6126]

And do many "mysteries"...

[@hrantgeorge2444]

It's not phuquing "satellite scale", and they're not phuquing "clues".

[@leighmackay7486]

I didn’t note the use of “phuquing satellite scale” nor the mention of “phuquing clues”. However, if you’re questioning the use of “satellite scale” and the misuse of “clue” I totally agree.

[@hrantgeorge2444]

@@leighmackay7486 Strangely enough the 'phuquing' wasn't the part pointed out between the quotation marks.

[@leighmackay7486]

@@hrantgeorge2444 Oops! You're right again, Rant. My bad. That you took the effort to include not one but two f-bombs threw me off. They seemed to be clues to a deeper angst or frustration that was on the verge of something on a satellite scale. Cheers, mate.

[@hsmd4533]

There’s also no “secrets”, and nothing here is “mysterious” or “ancient”. The narrator is ridic.

[@DavidBirman]

The narrator is definitely excited by "Satellite Scale" repeated again and again and again 😂😂😂

The IOC is only bested by Fifa in corruption, and clause that make sure that almost all modern Olympics lose money as shown here. The setup makes absolutely no sense as the amount of money and infrastructure needed rarely makes sense for the locations

[@fritzg2475]

How can a documentary whose subject is one of the greatest museums in the world provide scale of the spaces as the equivalent in football fields?

[@reneeolo3814]

Love to hear the curators and historians talk but the narrator really loves to allude to "secrets" and "mysteries" only to have the experts explain very plainly what has been known for centuries. Also, isn't "macroscopic scale" just... Looking at something with your bare eye? Was the narrator hit in the head with a thesaurus and did this result in a compulsive need to use superlatives to describe everything?

[@bullettube9863]

Sorry I can't watch your videos, You Tube won't let me because I use an ad blocker.

[@get.factual]

You can deactivate the ad blocker for KZbin! Ads are the reason you can watch the documentaries for free.

So I should pay Alphabet to not show ads? I already pay to access the internet, why do I need to pay a third party as well? KZbin is a consortium of content providers, it produce no content of it's own yet Alphabet is getting rich by selling ads on it's content providers channels. @@lindafrazier8092

[@phljn1978]

Repeating the phrases "the largest palace in the world" or "Largest museum" dozens of times became tiring. Why the need?

[@get.factual]

So that you understand the importance

[@luisalbertozambon3853]

The importance of French incompetence of the architects.

He is right. It’s fascinating but…

Then you should have said "the most important!"

The French have relatively inexpensive electricity 3:30 . From French designed and built nuclear power plants.

Interesting subject matter. Narration super irritating.

[@pengdu7751]

It’s 2024 and still no one in France speaks English

[@jackchevalier8105]

Philippe August please ! Augustus is not even used in French history books. It's troublesome with you anglo-saxons this obsession in changing the names in order to pretend to be much clever.

[@gabs32100]

so here it is this beautiful palace, let's desecrate it by installing hideous, mismatched idiotic pyramid...

[@andreaandrea6716]

SOME OF US speak French. I would rather hear what the experts at the Louvre are saying than have it translated. You COULD have subtitles.

[@heraldocosta1469]

Do I feel there are a lot American jealousy in the comments !! Je suis três désolé !!!!

[@luisalbertozambon3853]

The art of marketing and making a not well done palace to look marvelous. The French should learn with the Italians architects how to construct and preserve.

[@jh1987r]

Would be interesting to watch a normal documentary on the subject, but this being an American "documentary" just repeats the same things over and over again. The little that is said is also hilariously overdramatic. No no bad bad.

[@Geoplanetjane]

It is French documentary dubbed in English. Not well done.

[@andreaandrea6716]

Get a different narrator. This one is ANNOYING to listen to: Breathless from the beginning, I'm 2 mins in and exhausted and irritated. Not EVERY detail is astonishing.

[@hsmd4533]

Interesting video but the narration is ridiculous. The narrator’s voice is at a dramatic pitch the whole time and everything is a “secret” and “mysterious” and “ancient”. Worth watching but take it with a grain of salt.

[@ladydamemarvelous-micynyc7265]

This documentary is so boring and repetitive. The narrator sounds like an AI narrator but is human. Very boring and the script repeats itself over and over and over again. It also tries to create drama that is nonexistent with poor background music. If I had payed for this I would have sued.

[@fabiodeoliveiraribeiro1602]

Too bad all these beautiful things and the rest of Paris turn to rubble in the event of nuclear war. And for what? Only so the poor surviving Americans can arrogantly claim that they defeated the Russians and Chinese before they themselves died of starvation and radiation poisoning.
