I know it is cliche, but I sooo love Paris and I could spend hour upon hour upon hour at the Louvre (and Notre dame, though I'm not even religious). I can't say such violence is worse when it is targeted at any specific place over another, but somehow knowing they focused on the Louvre inexplicably hits me even harder.
