You can no longer rent a 3DS at the Louvre

For over a decade the Louvre has offered an official guide for the 3DS. A very cute meeting of games technology and art.

Ellie had wanted to go on a trip to Paris together and back in May, just over a week before she died, I had joked about needing to go before September when I read about the Louvre 3DSs being discontinued. That trip never ended up happening and as of today the service has officially ended.

I had completely forgotten about all of this until seeing a post about the Louvre 3DSs again just now. Funny the things that can send one into floods of tears. Echos of plans that never came to pass and reminders of what could have been. I had been considering doing the most cliché thing in the silliest way possible and proposing to her in Paris with a fidget ring I was going to get off of Etsy. Rose gold with symbols of the moon on it. I ended up getting one in my size instead that I have worn occasionally as one of my mementos of her.
