What you need to know before your trail
Stanley Lambchop is headed to France to the most famous museum in Paris the Louvre. He’s flat so part of his fun is to hide in the Louvre and act like a painting to fool the tourists! It’s a whole lot of fun and makes what might seem a boring museum trip even more exciting. What’s even more exciting is that his game comes in handy when an art student friend claims that the famous Mona Lisa has been stolen. They both return to the scene of the crime and find out that she’s right.! So what has happened and where is the painting now? Who could have done such a thing? Flat Stanley’s game suddenly got serious!

The Eiffel Tower was built for the 1889 Paris World Fair, and was the entrance arch for the fair
The Louvre Museum was built in 1190 as a fortress. It was rebuilt as a royal palace in the sixteenth century and became a museum in 1793
The real Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre in 1911 and was found two years later -an Italian thief had pulled off the audacious raid.
